A Warwick mum has declared she won’t think twice about putting on the air conditioning when temperatures soar this summer after scoring $400,000 in the weekend’s Saturday Gold Lotto draw.
The Darling Downs player held one of the 13 division one winning entries nationally in Saturday Gold Lotto draw 4509, drawn Saturday 5 October 2024. Each division one winning entry scored $401,209.07.
“I’m shaking!” the woman cried when an official from The Lott called to confirm her prize.
“I only just found out, and I can’t believe it!
“This is more money than I’ve had my whole life.
“I’ve been playing these numbers for years – they’re family birthdates.
“I usually check my Gold Lotto ticket when I get up on a Sunday morning, but this time I got distracted.
“Then I thought I hadn’t checked it. After I did, I had to get my family to check I wasn’t seeing things.
“I’ve got no idea what I’ll do with the prize just yet, but I won’t worry about turning on the AC so much this summer!”
The woman’s winning marked System 8 entry was purchased at Hynes Newsagency, 110 Palmerin Street, Warwick.
