A Nanango man is celebrating after winning more than $400,000 in Saturday’s Gold Lotto.<\/p>\n

The Nanango entry was one of 10 Division 1 winning entries across Australia – four from Queensland, three from Victoria, two from NSW, and one from Western Australia.<\/p>\n

Each won $408,233.51.<\/p>\n

\u201cFair dinkum!\u201d the man exclaimed when a Golden Casket official confirmed his prize on Monday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cHo ho! Wahoo! I checked my ticket yesterday afternoon, but it is great to have it confirmed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been playing a while, but I don\u2019t always play \u2013 just when I feel like it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn fact I\u2019d just walked past the newsagent and popped it on.\u201d<\/p>\n

The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, bought his winning 18-game entry at Nanango Newsagency.<\/p>\n

Nanango Newsagency owner Alison Warren said her shop’s latest Gold Lotto win came just 14 months after the last one.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very excited. It\u2019s great to help someone realise a dream,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last one we sold was just 14 months ago so we are feeling like a really lucky store.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are just happy to be a part of someone\u2019s luck!\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked how he planned to spend his Gold Lotto windfall, the Nanango winner said his loved ones would be at the top of his Lotto List.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll probably share it with family,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
