In this same week another couple from the neighbouring suburb of Redland Bay scooped up their share of the division one prize of $849,232.51 in the Saturday Lotto draw.


The great grandmother who won’t disclose her age (a lady never tells) said that she was watching the Saturday Lotto draw and was elated when all of her numbers just kept on coming up.


“My sister was with me at the time and I remember saying to her – I’ve got four numbers, oh I’ve got five, oh my goodness I’ve got all six!” the woman said.

“This is just incredible news. I mean, who in their lifetime wins one million dollars!”

I had a feeling I was going to win the jackpot,” the woman said.


“It pays to trust your instincts!”
