A Toowoomba couple are today planning to “travel Australia in style” after discovering they’re suddenly $200,000 richer.
The Queensland retirees won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1322, drawn Thursday 23 May 2019.
Confirming their win with a Golden Casket official this morning, the couple revealed how they discovered their good fortune.
“I always check our tickets online and when I checked this one I saw confetti falling down the computer screen,” the husband laughed.
“I thought maybe I’d won $12 or a free ticket so when $200,000 appeared on the screen I thought ‘there’s no way that could be right’!
“I kept re-checking the ticket, over and over.
“We really did not believe it!”
The pair, who had been playing Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot sporadically, said they’d enjoy every moment of their prize.
“We’ll be travelling Australia in style!” he said.
“When we get to destinations instead of skipping the helicopter ride because it’s too expensive, we’ll be jumping in the helicopter without even asking the price!
“We will certainly be splashing out and be doing all the extra little things and enjoy the finer things!”
The happy couple, who wish to remain anonymous, purchased their winning entry at NewsXpress on West, Shop 5, Westridge Shopping Centre, 300 West Street, Toowoomba.
NewsXpress on West manager Alana Lampe said the outlet was celebrating selling its first Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize winning entry.
“We’re all very excited here at the store and we’re so glad to know that they’ve checked their tickets and have realised they’ve won,” she said.
“We’d been eagerly waiting to scan that winning ticket! It’s great to know the prize has gone to a local couple.
“We’re so happy for them and we hope they enjoy it!”
