Whether it was a 20-year tradition shared between two mates, or a generous mother planning to share her win with loved ones, this week's winners reminded us that winning is even sweeter when shared with friends and family. Check out the heartwarming highlights below!

Two decades, two mates, and an unforgettable win

Two Carseldine friends will never forget the moment their 20-year lottery tradition delivered them a $1.25 million windfall. The winning pair shared it was a dream come true and they savoured their Saturday Gold Lotto success with a celebratory bottle of wine.

“My mate and I have been playing for 20 years. We’ve got a spreadsheet and everything,” one of the winning men confessed.

“I didn’t really sleep last night as I was up thinking about it all.

“There were a few colourful words exchanged over the phone. It was an awesome moment.”

Cessnock mother set to spread joy

From savouring the winning moment to spreading the joy with loved ones. A Cessnock mother plans to spoil her family after she won more than $100,000 in a recent Lucky Lotteries draw.

“Wow! This is the loveliest surprise after a tough couple of years,” she cheered.

“I’ve always thought it would feel amazing to win something! I always told myself that I’d share half of whatever I win with my children.

“I can’t wait to get the family all together and celebrate this news over a feast!”

Devonport woman skips toward the Australian dream

And in Tasmania, a Devonport woman is excited to turn her dream of owning a home into reality after landing a million-dollar Weekday Windfall win.

“I bought a ticket into the last Powerball draw, and I had won division nine on the ticket so decided to use those winnings to purchase a ticket into Weekday Windfall. Now look what’s happened!” she exclaimed.  

“This win will one hundred percent go towards a house. I thought I would never be able to own my own home but now I’ll be able to! It’s so exciting.

“I’ve been renting my entire life and now I won’t need to!”
