LOTTO WINNER: Mossman resident walking on air after becoming instant MILLIONAIRE!
HUGE WINDFALL
Someone in Mossman is walking around with a smile as wide as the Daintree River – after holding one of 15 winning division one entries in the recent Saturday Gold Lotto draw.
Identified only as a ‘shopper’, the person had a $2-million windfall in the shared prize.
The winning entry was purchased at News Extra Mossman, and confirmed after the winning numbers 4, 30, 21, 37, 29, 8 and supplementary numbers 45 and 38 were drawn on Saturday night.
But it will remain a mystery how the winner plans to enjoy the $2-million; they’ve chosen to stay completely anonymous and celebrate in private.
News Extra Mossman assistant manager Tanya Bown said it was a wonderful feeling knowing her team has helped make someone’s dreams come true.
“It’s very exciting when you see your store’s name come up as one of the winning newsagencies in the weekend’s draw,” she said.
“Our customers have been equally as excited as us when we share the winning news that we’ve sold a division one winning entry!
“This is the second time we’ve been fortunate enough to have sold a division one winning entry. The last time was in June 2021 to one of our local customers in Monday & Wednesday Gold Lotto!
“We couldn’t be happier for our winner and a big congratulations to them from the team at News Extra Mossman!”
So far in 2023, there have been six division one winning entries in the Far North Queensland region that have collectively taken home more than $10.38 million in prize money.
