A Hervey Bay woman is set for a change of scenery after scoring a huge win in last night's Weekday Windfall draw.
The southern Queenslander held the only division one winning entry nationally in the draw held on Wednesday, 14 August 2024, adding to the Wide Bay-Burnett region's impressive tally of over $6.93 million in division one prizes this year.
She is keen to trade the sunshine for Tasmania's crisp air after bagging a million-dollar windfall.
The seasonal player received the surprise of a lifetime this morning when she received multiple notifications from lottery officials urging her to check her Weekday Windfall ticket.
“Oh my! I can’t contain this!” she cheered.
“I’ve always wanted to win division one, but I never expected it to happen to me.
“My husband got an email this morning about a major win, but it didn’t say the prize amount. I ran straight to the newsagency and on the way, I missed a couple of calls.
“Now you’re telling me that I’ve won one million dollars. I can’t believe it!
“I used to play Monday and Wednesday, but when an extra day was added to the game, I decided to switch my days up!
“I always said that if I’d won division one, I would tell absolutely no one, but it’s too hard to contain!
“I’d love to go back home and visit Tasmania. I’ve definitely been itching for a holiday!
“Oh dear. I think I need a glass of bubbly to celebrate!”
Her winning 15-game QuickPick entry was purchased at Nextra Fraser Gateway Newsagency, Shop 22-23 Stockland Shopping Centre, 6 Central Avenue.
Nextra Fraser Gateway Newsagency manager Kylie Bromhead said she was elated and immensely proud to hear her outlet had sold another division one winning entry.
“We’re so pleased! It’s gratifying to see our hardd work and strategic efforts continually yielding such remarkable results, and it motivates us to strive for even greater achievements!” she said.
“We believe this achievement is not just a win for us but a moment of joy to be shared with everyone who supports us!
“Our last division one winning entry was only two months ago, and this recent success further reiterates our ongoing commitment to excellence!
“Congratulations to our division one winner! It’s truly exhilarating to witness such a stroke of luck unfold, and we couldn’t be more thrilled for you.
“Being part of this moment is fantastic, and we’re delighted to see you benefit from such a fortunate turn of events!”
The winning numbers in Weekday Windfall draw 4429 on Wednesday 14 August 2024 were 39, 8, 41, 23, 9 and 4, while the supplementary numbers were 24 and 29.
