The luck continues for the Gold Coast, with a Palm Beach Grandad becoming the city’s latest Lotto winner.
The lucky local taking home a cool $900,000 after holding one of the division one winning entries in Saturday’s Gold Lotto draw.
The man admitting he thought the ticket checker had made a mistake when it revealed his life-changing prize.
“I checked it with my phone on the weekend, and when the result came up, I simply thought, ‘It must be wrong!’.
“I just couldn’t get over it. I’ve been playing Lotto for 50 years or more, and I never thought I’d see something like this.”
After more than a century of playing Saturday Gold Lotto, the grandfather said he would keep his feet firmly on the ground and put family first.
“There’s probably not a lot for me, but it will help the grandkids,” he shared.
“I’ll wait until we’ve got the money to tell family. I never jump the gun!”
His winning System 8 entry was purchased at The Pines Lotto & News at The Pines Elanora Shopping Centre.
The winning numbers were 32, 11, 22, 30, 15 and 1, while the supplementary numbers were 43 and 13.
