Promise to be Kept by $4.8 million Set for Life Winner
A woman from the Gold Coast of Australia has won a $4.8 million Set for Life jackpot. As you’ll discover, It’s also great news for her father.
The fantastic win came in the Set for Life draw held on July 30. Now the lucky winner will receive monthly installments of $20,000 for the next 20 years.
“Are you joking?”
How would you react if given such news? So surprised was this Queensland resident, she declared: “I’m Set for Life! I’m feeling dizzy – I need to sit down.” “Oh my god!” “Are you joking? What a surprise!” the shocked winner added.
The Set for Life draw is the only lottery that the lucky player continually tries her luck on. Now her big win has arrived, she’s going to keep a big promise that was made to her father.
As promised, he will receive half of the $20,000 every month. No wonder the Set for Life winner couldn’t wait to tell her family the big news.
Also winning a massive prize was a man from Tatura in the Australian state of Victoria. He’d heard about a local $1 million TattsLotto win but had no idea he was the winner.
“It can’t be”
His TattsLotto ticket hadn’t been registered and that meant the lottery company had no idea who the winner was. The retiree had heard that a winning ticket had been sold at the store where he always buys his tickets. “I just thought, ‘It can’t be me. It can’t be!’” In the USA, a $50,000 Powerball winner initially had no idea he’d won.
There’s always a chance though and he quickly checked his TattsLotto ticket. A massive surprise was on its way and he admitted: “It really does hit you in your face.”
He’s been playing the TattsLotto for the past two decades. During that time he’s dreamed about how a big win would change his life. Now it’s happened, he’s not sure what to do next. The next fortnight will be spent working out his future plans, including talking to an accountant.
