Love has been in the air this week, and not just because today is Valentine’s Day! This week’s winners have been swept off their feet with more than just roses and chocolates, savoring a sweet lottery win. 

Catch up on all the heart-pounding moments:

Glenelg man happiest person in Australia with multi-million-dollar win

Over the weekend, a Glenelg man declared himself the happiest person in the country after scoring a $2.5 million win in Saturday Lotto. The elated winner was grinning from ear to ear, fully embracing his new multi-millionaire status. 

“I’m the happiest person in Australia today!” he cheered.

“It’s too unreal. Even saying $2.5 million. It just sounds ridiculous. I can’t believe it!

“I’m going to take some good time to think about it and see a financial advisor.

“I don’t own a house so that’s something I’ll look to do down the track as well.”

Seven life-changing Set for Life wins

We saw a record-breaking seven division one winners in Set for Life this week. It’s safe to say these ecstatic winners will count down the days to the 15th of each month, as their annuity prize will be paid monthly on this day, for the next 20 years. 

One of the record-breaking winners, a Craigmore woman, was brought to tears by the life-changing news she’d be set up for the next two decades—and beyond. 

“Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh!” she cried.

“It was just yesterday that I had a feeling that something good was coming my way. I even told my husband that it felt like the winds were finally changing.

“I can’t hold back the tears. This means so much.

“I’m honestly overwhelmed thinking of all the things we could do with the prize.”

And a Sunnybank woman was equally overjoyed, telling us she was looking forward to jetting off on a long-overdue holiday with the prize fueling her bucket list travels. 

“You’ve made my day!” she shared.

“My favourite game is Set for Life. I like that it’s an annuity prize, and I can enjoy it over the course of 20 years. I’m absolutely shocked, really.

“I’ve only been getting one winning number here and there, and I was close to changing my numbers completely, but I decided to keep going with them.

“I can go on a holiday – woo-hoo!”

The other Set for Life wins landed in Greenacre, Ipswich, Knoxfield, Okaleigh, and Western Australia, with all these winners now set to enjoy a multi-million-dollar prize over the next 20 years.

Screams of joy and laughter in the office

The wins continued in Queensland where a Charters Towers woman received a life-enhancing phone call while at work, revealing her $100,000 Lucky Lotteries win. Bursting with joy, the stunned winner erupted into screams of excitement and laughter in her office. 

“Wow! Oh my god!” she cheered.

“I’m at work right now, and I just lost it completely.

“I’m yelling out to a few of my work colleagues, and they’re looking at me like I’m some sort of mad woman.

“Honestly, I’m so glad I was sitting down when you broke the news to me. I’m pretty sure I would’ve fainted otherwise.”

What a winning week! We can’t wait to continue sharing the love across the nation next week. Don’t miss out on the chance to make your dreams come true — grab a ticket online, in store or via The Lott app today!
