A Winner For Woods

On the evening of Saturday January 20, one lucky Burdekin gentleman became $708,128.64 richer after winning division one in Saturday Night’s Gold Lotto draw.

Woods News & Lucky Casket Agency was 1 of the 7 winning retailers and owner Anita Comas said the excitement has been felt by each and every customer and staff member since the announcement.

“We are absolutely thrilled and excited for him and also for Ayr, in that the first division prize came to our little town,” expressed Anita.

The $5 million division one prize was equally divided by all 7 winners with Woods News & Lucky Casket Agency being one of two winning Queensland retailers. The remaining winning outlets from Saturday’s draw were in New South Wales (2 winners), Victoria (2 winners), and South Australia (1 winner).

The lucky local man purchased a random, computer-generated quick pick to win his jackpot with the following numbers: 35, 37, 11, 22, 27, and 33 with 8 and 1 as the supplementary numbers.

The gentleman visited the East End Centre Sunday morning to share his exciting news and express deep gratitude to Anita and her staff.

“He was so excited, and he celebrated with every customer who came into the shop,” explained Anita.

“It’s a very exciting time.”
