It took the Queensland division one winner, a Townsville man, a few days to realise he was walking around with a multi-million-dollar winning entry in his back pocket. After hearing on the radio that someone in the area had won, he finally decided to check his ticket. And he was glad he did!
“We’ll have to let it all sink in first though. I’m not sure how we’ll celebrate, but as soon as I get off the phone I’m going to go and give my wife a big kiss!” the North Queensland winner laughed.
