A Morayfield woman, whose parents dreamt of one day winning big bucks before they passed away, feels as though her recent $733-k windfall was a blessing from heaven.
The unnamed woman could not believe her lucky stars when she found out that she bagged one of the winning entries of a recent draw, taking home the division one prize on Saturday, 1 October 2022.
She said that winning felt like a dream so she had to check her ticket many times to believe it was true.
“I also sent a photo of the winning ticket to my husband and son to double check. It’s crazy!” the Morayfield woman said.
“This will really take the pressure off everything. I feel as though my beloved late parents are looking down on me this morning,” she added, after getting the call to confirm her windfall. “They always dreamt of winning big one day in Lotto. They did this for me.”
The Morayfield winner purchased her ticket at the Nextra Morayfield Plaza News inside the Morayfield Shopping Centre and has been making plans to travel around the country once she buys a caravan.
She’s also going to use her prize to do some home renovations.
“Most importantly, we will help our family that means the most to us — our children and their partners,” the lucky woman said.
For the 2022 financial year, the Saturday Gold Lotto has been won by 196 winners across the country. Division one has a total of 324 winners, collectively taking home more than $461.69 million.
