A man from Brisbane was unaware that he won a $2.5 million lotto prize for two weeks.
A recent lotto winner from Brisbane was overwhelmed with emotion when he discovered he had won $2.5 million from the Gold Lotto. It had been almost two weeks since his numbers were drawn, and he had no idea he was carrying the winning ticket in his wallet. It wasn't until he passed by the newsagent that he remembered to check his ticket and discovered his life-changing win.

The lucky winner, a resident of Stafford, couldn't believe his eyes when he realized he had won while at work. Tears of joy streamed down his face as he spoke to lottery officials about his unexpected windfall. "Oh my god. Are you serious? I'm at work. I'm crying," he exclaimed. He expressed his gratitude and relief, knowing that he could now take care of his family and secure their future. "I can look after my family, the kids are now safe. I'm speechless. Thank you so much," he said.

The news was a shock to the winner, who struggled to find the words to express his excitement. "It's a shock to the system. Such wonderful news. I'm sorry, I'm speechless," he said. He went on to say that the win would have a significant impact on his family and friends. "I've got children, and it's amazing that I'll be able to look after them," he shared. "I had no idea about this. The ticket was in my wallet the entire time, and it wasn't until I walked past The Store on Eagle this morning that I thought I would check my ticket."

The lucky winner's bank account will be receiving a massive deposit of $2.5 million next week. He already has plans for the money, including paying off his home loan and his children's education. "Oh my god. This will help us to own the house, fund the kids' education, and help some family members," he said. "We would also love to go on a family holiday! We've got school holidays coming up, so we'll have to get the family all together and have a big celebration!"

The winning ticket was purchased at The Store on Eagle in Central Brisbane. The previous owner of the shop, Kristina Carson, was thrilled to have sold the winning ticket on her last day before handing over the store to new owners. "The fact that it happened on our last day before handing over to the new owners is just wild," she said. "We've gone out with a bang, and it's incredibly rewarding to know we've changed someone's life."

The winning numbers in Saturday Gold Lotto draw 4499 on 31 August 2024 were 6, 39, 15, 20, 32, and 4, while the supplementary numbers were 30 and 1. The lucky winner's life will be forever changed thanks to this stroke of luck, and he plans to make the most of it by taking care of his loved ones and creating lasting memories with them.
