A Gladstone dad has kicked off his Thursday in the best way imaginable, jumping onto his fishing boat at first light after reeling in a marvellous $1 million win in last night's Weekday Windfall draw.
The Central Queenslander held the only division one winning entry nationally in Weekday Windfall draw 4663, drawn Wednesday 11 February 2026. He looks forward to a neat $1 million.
"Thank you so much! It's already been a great morning," he exclaimed when we confirmed the bounty.
"I've hooked up the boat after heading out for a celebratory fish this morning. It's still hard to believe this has happened to me!
"I checked the ticket last night before bed, but I didn't want to get too excited before speaking to someone.
"It's funny timing. I had already scheduled an appointment with a financial planner for next month to discuss my plans but this win will help me achieve them even sooner!
"I already have an amazing life with my kids, and this will just help elevate our future.
"I have a fantastic day ahead! I'll just have to let the shock roll through!"
His winning System 9 entry was purchased via The Lott app - the official home of Australia's lotteries.
