Sleepy surprise! Frenchville dad wakes up wife with $2.5 million Gold Lotto win

A Frenchville husband excitedly woke his wife this morning with the revelation they were now multi-millionaires from the weekend’s Saturday Gold Lotto draw.
 
“Are you kidding? Is this a hoax?” he questioned when speaking to us.
 
“Wow! I had no idea! I’m going to wake my wife up right now. She is asleep!

“We’ve won $2.5 million on the Lotto!
 
“I seriously thought someone was playing a trick on me.

“Thank you!”
 
When asked how $2.5 million would transform their lives, the winning husband and dad shared a couple of initial plans.

“We’ve got three kids, and everyday can be challenging. This will really help set our family up for the future,” he revealed.

“We can look forward to buying a house too!”
 
His winning 50-game QuickPick was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.

Check your tickets, Emerald! Did you land a $2.5 million Gold Lotto prize over the weekend?

We're urging Emerald locals and visitors to check their Saturday Gold Lotto tickets as a mystery player is $2.5 million richer and may not know it yet.
 
If the winner had been part of The Lott Members Club and registered their ticket to a player card or online account, we would have already alerted the player to their newfound fortune.
 
Instead, we're eagerly waiting for the mystery ticketholder to check their ticket and come forward.
