An Indooroopilly man was looking forward to watching the cricket and flipping through a boat catalogue to celebrate the revelation he became a millionaire in the weekend’s Saturday Gold Lotto draw.
 
The Brisbane man held one of the four division one winning entries nationally in Saturday Gold Lotto draw 4527 on Saturday 7 December 2024. Each division one winning entry pocketed $1,258,663.69.
 
The Queenslander only discovered his win after we reached out yesterday morning.
 
“Jesus Christ!” he exclaimed when his prize was revealed.

“Unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable! B*gger me!

“It’s beautiful!
 
“I’ve been playing Lotto for 50 years just using the same numbers that are family birthdates, special occasions, football numbers and things like that. The best I’ve ever won is $3,000, but normally it’s $6 or $12. 
 
“I still can’t believe it! This could give me a heart attack!
 
“What an early Christmas surprise! I might surprise a few people with this and go see the grandkids.
 
“I’m going to celebrate by sitting back and watching the cricket today. I might even have a look at a boat catalogue as I’d love to get one.
 
“This call has been better than anything I’d ever imagined.”
 
His winning marked 6-game entry was purchased on The Lott website – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
 
The winning numbers in Saturday Gold Lotto draw 4527 on 7 December 2024 were 1, 16, 11, 13, 35 and 7, while the supplementary numbers were 5 and 14.
