A man from Thornlands is set to embark on the exciting journey to home ownership after learning he'd pocketed $1 million in last night's Weekday Windfall draw.
The Redland resident held the only division one winning entry nationally in Weekday Windfall draw 4653, drawn Monday 19 January 2026. This marks the region's first major lottery win of the year.
The winning man expressed deep gratitude for landing the million-dollar prize, sharing it would make a significant difference for both him and his wife.
"Thank you so much! I can't believe it!" he exclaimed.
"I'm feeling very grateful. This will go a long way for us!
"I logged in around 9:30 last night to check the ticket, and we were absolutely stunned.
"I've only ever received a small win here and there. Sometimes you wonder whether to get another entry for next week. I never truly anticipated winning division one!
"We don't own a house, so that's the first thing we'll be doing with the prize. It's great.
"We will be having a nice dinner to celebrate!
"Thank you to The Lott from the bottom of our hearts."
His winning 50-game QuickPick entry was purchased via The Lott app - the official home of Australia's lotteries.
