A Toowoomba woman says sheâs suddenly living a dream after discovering the life-changing news sheâs started the week as a millionaire.
The Darling Downs retiree held one of the three division one winning entries nationally in Saturday Gold Lotto draw 3927, drawn Saturday 9 March 2019. Each entry took home a division one prize of $1,316,406.07.
Itâs the second division one win for the Darling Downs region so far this year.
A Golden Casket official had the pleasure of making the dream-come-true phone call this morning to break the exciting news to the woman, who wasnât expecting the surprise.
âOh my god. Iâm in shock!â she exclaimed.
âI think I must be dreaming! I have to pinch myself!
âOh my god! I canât believe it!
âHeavens! Iâve never even won a chook raffle before!
âThank you so much. Iâm speechless, I really donât know what to say.â
The regular Saturday Gold Lotto player said sheâd started the week with no idea of her new millionaire status, which would change the rest of her life.
âI never check my numbers on the night of the draw, I usually just check my entries when I get around to it and I hadnât even thought about checking my entry from Saturday Gold Lotto,â she explained.
âYou have no idea, this is just going to make our life so much better.
âMy husband can finally stop working. Heâll be able to retire early!
âHonestly, this is a miracle, I really canât believe it!
âHeâs had to keep working because weâve got bills to pay but now he doesnât have to!
âWe can finally relax! This is just incredible. I think I need to have a drink!
âWe will pay off the house and pay a few bills.
âWe might have a holiday. We havenât had a holiday probably in 10 years.
âIâd love to just sit by a beach somewhere and relax for weeks.
âAnd I guess we will be getting a new car, ours is just so old.
âThis really is a dream come true!â
