November 5, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

A South Burnett man is more than $440,000 richer after winning Division 1 in Saturday’s Gold Lotto draw.<\/p>\n

The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, told Gold Lotto he believed his late father was “looking down on him” when he won.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy dad religiously played Saturday Gold Lotto and he passed away just a little while ago, so I think it\u2019s his way of looking after us even when he\u2019s gone,” the winner said.<\/p>\n

“I think he\u2019s looking down at me and saying \u2018Good on you son! You\u2019ve done it!\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

The man held one of the nine Division 1 winning entries across Australia in Draw 3891.<\/p>\n

Each entry has won $441,295.45.<\/p>\n

The South Burnett winner said he hadn\u2019t slept a wink since he checked his online account on Sunday night.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cEven though I saw it online last night, I still didn\u2019t believe it,” he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t sleep all night\u00a0I was so hyped up, but at the same time I kept telling myself not to get too excited in case it was a mistake.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great it\u2019s been confirmed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a tough couple of years, so this is amazing.”<\/p>\n

When asked how he planned to spend his Saturday Gold Lotto windfall, the South Burnett man said it would be used to help those at the top of his Lotto List \u2013 his family.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI am going to look after my family. That\u2019s the main priority,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen I\u2019ll take the grandkids on a big road trip around Australia. Uluru will be the final destination.\u201d<\/p>\n

The man purchased his 12-game QuickPick entry online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
