Two Inala locals have each scored $4.7 million prizes in last month’s Lotto jackpot.
The winners, not known to one another, were two of 15 people across Queensland who took home a share of the $70 million draw.
One of the locals couldn’t believe he had won.
“Oh my god. Oh my god,” he said after learning of his newfound wealth.
“I thought you said I had won $47,000, but now it’s actually hit me
that you said $4.7 million.
“My dad and sister are standing right in front of me, and now we’ve got my brother-in-law on the speed dial.”
The man said the money was a “dream come true”, which he would use to visit his family overseas.
“I have some family overseas who are enjoying a holiday without me,
but now I’ll be able to join them,” he said.
A spokesperson for The Lott, Anna Hobdell, said there were more winners yet to claim their prize.
“It’s remarkable that 15 Queenslanders became multimillionaires tonight. While we’ve tried contacting those who registered their tickets to The Lott Members Club, some may have yet to discover the good news” she said.
“We’re encouraging anyone who purchased a syndicate entry in Queensland for tonight’s Oz Lotto draw to check their tickets as soon as possible
“Just imagine how thrilling it would be to discover you’re part of
this winning group and are now $4.7 million richer! Your plans for
Easter and beyond could be transformed.
“If you discover you’re holding one of these golden tickets, contact The Lott on 131 868 to begin the prize claim process.”
