July 17, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Nanango woman who wishes to remain anonymous has won almost $1 million in Saturday’s Gold Lotto.<\/p>\n

She was one of four Division 1 winners nationally who each took home a prize of $985,744.11.<\/p>\n

The winner bought her 18-game QuickPick \u00a0from\u00a0Nanango Newsagency in\u00a0Drayton Street.<\/p>\n

The winner confessed she had been eagerly waiting by the phone for Golden Casket to call and confirm her win ever since she checked her entry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is fantastic! That is fantastic!\u00a0 Now it\u2019s confirmed I can believe it!\u201d the woman exclaimed when a Golden Casket official called her first thing on Monday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was looking at my ticket, sitting here marking the numbers down.\u00a0 I had two on one line, then four and then boom, boom, I got the others. \u00a0It just didn\u2019t seem real!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMy family were double checking the numbers.\u00a0 I said I won\u2019t believe it until I get that phone call!\u201d<\/p>\n

The winner has plans to use her windfall to help her family, buy a new house, and travel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt couldn\u2019t have come at a better time,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s wonderful.\u00a0 I won\u2019t have to worry about pinching pennies, cutting down on this and that.\u00a0 I won\u2019t have to do that anymore!\u201d<\/p>\n

Nanango Newsagency\u00a0owner Alison Warren said the agency had sold\u00a0about four Division 1 winning entries during the past 15 years.<\/p>\n

“Our biggest was a store syndicate that won $11 million in Powerball,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe kept saying it was time for another Division 1 and that perhaps another win was on its way.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such great news.\u00a0 Congratulations to our customer.\u00a0 I hope they enjoy their prize!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
