They may have won Saturday Gold Lotto division one, but life won’t change too much for a down-to-earth Kallangur couple who still put a load of washing on and made their bed before they claimed their million-dollar prize this morning.
 
The couple held one of the four division one winning entries across Australia in Saturday Gold Lotto draw 3861 on 21 July 2018. Each entry takes home a division one prize of $1,004,249.80.
 
Speaking to a Golden Casket official, the winning woman described the moment she realised she had won Saturday Gold Lotto division one.
 
“I usually just get the paper and my pen and I circle the numbers on my ticket. I did it yesterday and saw I’d got all six numbers,” she said.
 
“I said to my husband ‘come and check this will you?’. He said ‘I’ll be there in a minute’.
 
“We then went online to see how much it was. Oh God! That’s when the panic started to set in. My stomach is still going.
 
“The most I’ve ever won before is $80!”
 
The retired couple plan to share their Gold Lotto windfall with those at the top of their Lotto List – their adult children, and enjoy some first-class overseas travel.
 
They’ve also vowed their lives wouldn’t change too dramatically now they’re millionaires.


“I was thinking last night, it’s funny I’ve won all this money but I’m still sitting here cooking toasted sandwiches for dinner,” she laughed.


“And I’ve done the washing this morning.  He’s made the bed. It’s all
still got to be done.
 
“I didn’t sleep too well last night. I kept waking up thinking ‘I’m not dreaming am I?’.”
 
The couple, who wish to remain anonymous, purchased their winning 18-game QuickPick entry at Kallangur Fair News, Shop 1 & 2, Kallangur Fair Shopping Centre, 1473 Anzac Avenue, Kallangur.
 
Kallangur Fair News owner Rajinder Kaur said she was very excited to have delivered the division one winning news to her customer.
 
“They were very excited and so were we!,” she said.
 
“We were all crying happy tears and I wish them all the very best.
 
“This is the first division one winning entry we’ve sold for a few years and we can’t wait to do it again.”
