A Murgon man is $2 million richer after last Saturday’s Gold Lotto draw<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

November 3, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

The missing $2 million Lotto winner has been located in Murgon … and the lucky\u00a0man says he\u2019ll never quite know how to thank his mum for giving him the ticket!<\/p>\n

The man held one of the 10 Division 1 winning entries nationally in Saturday Gold Lotto\u2019s $20 Million Superdraw.<\/p>\n

He confirmed the exciting news with an official from The Lott on Tuesday morning, saying he had just checked his ticket on the app.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m in a state of flux at the moment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you so much. I can\u2019t believe it.\u00a0It\u2019s brilliant!<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mum bought me the ticket as a thank you gift because I\u2019ve been helping her out with a few things.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mum often buys us lottery tickets as gifts for birthdays and other special occasions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know how I\u2019m ever going to thank her for this.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is unreal. I\u2019m absolutely stunned.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked what he planned to do with his multi-million-dollar prize, he said it would change the lives of so many people.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is going to help my family so much,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course we will make sure our mum is set up and doesn\u2019t need to worry about a thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I do need to sit down and really think about what to do. I want to be able to help all my siblings.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s unreal!\u201d<\/p>\n

Murgon News owner John Robinson said he was happy to hear the winner had come forward.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so lovely to know that this incredible prize has gone to local person,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople have been doing it tough here lately so this is such a welcome piece of news. It\u2019s great for us, the community and of course the winners themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve sold a few Division 1 winning entries over the 47 years we\u2019ve been here, but we haven\u2019t had a win for quite some time, so we\u2019ve broken the drought now!<\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations to our winner!\u201d<\/p>\n
