In a lifechanging event, a Sarina woman has been left overwhelmed with joy after scoring
$1.6 million in last weekend’s Saturday Gold Lotto draw. The lucky woman says she feels “truly blessed” and is excited to be able to give her adult children a kickstart in life.
The Sarina resident secured one of the three division one winning entries in the Saturday Gold Lotto draw 4463 on April 27, 2024. Each winning entry in division one received $1,648,240.31.
“I’m just so overwhelmed and pretty excited,” the woman exclaimed when speaking to an official from The Lott.
“This is amazing! I can’t believe it.
“Normally, my routine is I put on my ticket and check it before bed on Saturday night or first thing Sunday morning.
“But I had a bit on Sunday morning, so I didn’t check my ticket until later.
“I always go with a 50-game QuickPick. I’ve probably been playing off and on for about 20 years.
“It’s just phenomenal. It enables me to help my kids get their first homes, it enables me to fix up our own home bit and I’ll be able to retire a little earlier than planned.”
The winning numbers in Saturday Gold Lotto draw 4463 on 27 April 2024 were 1, 26, 7, 20, 39 and 34, while the supplementary numbers were 8 and 10.
