Two Mackay families now have 400,000 reasons to smile after taking home separate Gold Lotto draw wins.
A Mackay mum, who was one of the winners, said she had been playing the winning numbers “for a long time”.
“They’re family birthdates,” she said.
“When I checked my ticket … I screamed. My daughter has been telling me to breathe.
“This is going to help pay the bills and mortgage. It’s unbelievable.”
While a couple, also from Mackay, will now be able to tick a few items off their wish list with their winnings.
“It’s amazing,” the wife said.
“This stuff doesn’t happen to people like us.
“We’ve played these numbers for a while, but they were just picked randomly, and we kept playing them.”
She said they might buy a new car and “perhaps put the rest in the bank until we decide what to do”.
Each player held one of the 13 division one winning entries in Saturday’s Gold Lotto draw 4509, scoring $401,209.07.
Both winning entries were bought via The Lott app.
