Gold Coast man is on Cloud nine after Saturday Gold Lotto win

A Burleigh Heads man has confessed he was stunned into silence by the revelation he scored more than $900,000.

His marked 8-game entry was purchased at Palm Beach Newsagency, Shop 5A, Pavilions on 5th, 5 Fifth Avenue, Palm Beach.

The winner talked to the lottery official and confirmed the win.

“I’ve been on cloud nine all day!” he exclaimed when speaking to an official from The Lott.

“My wife and I have just been over the moon.

“Wow! Oh boy! I’m still struggling to find words.

“I had another entry in the draw, and when I checked it, I’d won $7.90. Then I checked this ticket. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

“I sat in silence for a couple of seconds. I raced to my wife and showed her, and she went silent. She threw her arms around me. We were both just stunned.

“I tell you what – this phone call is the best phone call I’ve ever had.

“I’m so happy. It’s an amazing feeling.

“This really secures our future retirement.

“We’d love to do some overseas travel. We’ve already talked about going on a Mediterranean cruise!”
