“The universe is shining down on me!”: Sarina woman stunned by $1.6 million Saturday Gold Lotto surprise
A Sarina woman has declared she feels “truly blessed” and is excited to be able to give a boost to her adult children after scoring $1.6 million in the weekend’s Saturday Gold Lotto draw.
The North Queenslander held one of the three division one winning entries in Saturday Gold Lotto draw 4463 on Saturday 27 April 2024. Each division one winning entry pocketed $1,648,240.31.
“I’m just so overwhelmed and pretty excited,” the woman exclaimed.
“This is amazing! I can’t believe it.
“I’ve got a headache! I’m just so overwhelmed.
“Normally, my routine is I put on my ticket and check it before bed on Saturday night or first thing Sunday morning. But I had a bit on Sunday morning, so I didn’t check my ticket until later.
“I always go with a 50-game QuickPick. I’ve probably been playing off and on for about 20 years.
“It’s just phenomenal. It enables me to help my kids get their first homes. It enables me to fix up our own home bit and I’ll be able to retire a little earlier than planned.
“We’ll just be comfortable.
“I’m so blessed. A lot of people are doing it tough at the moment. I feel truly blessed. It’s like the universe is shining down on me and I’m so grateful!”
Her winning 50-game QuickPick was via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
