In case you missed it: Carindale man welcomes second major win in four years while two Aussies take out Set for Life prize in one week!
We often see division one winners at a loss for words, stumbling over them, or overflowing with them—but one thing’s for sure: the thrilling feeling that comes from a win. Check out some of the breathtaking winning moments from the week below:
‘Fan-bloody-tastic’ Set for Life win
A man from Dingley Village certainly wasn’t shy to express himself after discovering he’d won a division one Set for Life prize.. ‘Goodness gracious,’ and ‘gob-smacked’ were some of the colourful words he used to describe the euphoria of winning $20,000 a month for the next 20 years.
“Far out! That is fan-bloody-tastic! That’s magic!” he cheered.
“Thank you! Thank you! I’m just pinching myself. I’m totally gobsmacked.
“This will make such a difference to our lives. I’ve got my partner here and she’s smiling from ear to ear.”
The very next night, a second Aussie picked up a Set for Life division one prize. An Ashmore woman shared she can’t wait to upgrade her retirement plans with her prize of $20,000 a month for 20 years. Talk about a winning streak!
Lottery lighting strikes twice for Carindale man
How would you react if you won the lottery twice? This happened to a Carindale man who was in complete disbelief at his division one Weekday Windfall win—his second major lottery prize in less than four years!
“We checked it this morning and we couldn’t believe it,” he cheered.
“I’ve been playing Weekday Windfall since it used to be Monday & Wednesday Gold Lotto. It’s been a really long time and I never thought this day would ever come.
“I actually won a top prize of $150,000 on an Instant Scratch-Its ticket in 2021 and that was amazing, but $1 million is next level!”
Mackay farmer sows Saturday Lotto success
Meanwhile, a farmer from Mackay, who has been struggling with tough droughts, was flooded with emotions upon discovering his $660,000 division one Saturday Lotto win.
The seasonal player took a little longer to discover his good fortune, as he was out on the farm tending to his crops. It wasn’t until he received a text—initially mistaken for spam—that he realised a life-enhancing windfall was on the horizon.
“Oh dear, I’m in shock – it’s absolutely unbelievable,” he exclaimed.
“It might take some time to process the win. We’re struggling farmers and really need this positive news. It will help our family so much.
“This year has been our hardest year on the farm. There’s been so much drought.
“I didn’t even know about the win because I was running around, and we have no service where we live so I couldn’t check my ticket.”
From ‘marvellous’ moments of shock to ‘dumbfounded’ farmers, these winners' reactions capture the essence of a major lottery win. Don’t miss out on your chance to receive a winning call from us, with Oz Lotto (draw 1597) jackpotting to $15 million this Tuesday. Good luck!
