A Yass couple have received the wake-up call of a lifetime – finding out they’ve won $5 million.
The pair held the only Division One winning entry in Set for Life draw 4063 on Sunday (20 September).
Their life-changing prize totals $5 million, including $200k right away and $20,000 every month for the next 20 years.
When an official from The Lott called them, they were still in bed – and unaware they had won.
“This is a great way to wake up!” the husband laughed.
“Wow. That’s amazing. The most I’ve ever won is about $10 or $20.
“I saw the $200K Right Away prize and thought, ‘That’s pretty good. I’ll give it a go.'”
“It was just a QuickPick!”
The couple also made history as the first Set for Life division one winners to pocket the new $200K Right Away prize.
The wife said the prize would open up a world of possibilities for their family.
“It’ll make a huge difference,” she said.
“We’ll definitely have a big think before we decide what to do.
“We could travel, spoil the pets and help the kids out. I might even pull the pin on work!
“Of course, before we decide, we’ll have a good think about it and let it all sink in.
“It’s amazing news. I can’t believe it.
“Thank you so much!”
Their winning 10-game QuickPick entry was purchased through The Lott app.
The winning numbers in Set for Life draw 4063 were 3, 42, 21, 24, 22, 36 and 32, while the supplementary numbers were 4 and 43.
