A woman from Weipa, who usually sticks to her own favourite lottery numbers, is celebrating letting her husband contribute to her recent ticket, which landed a marvellous $1 million Weekday Windfall win.
The Cape York Peninsula couple held one of the two division one winning entries nationally in Weekday Windfall draw 4596, drawn Monday 8 September 2025.
Speaking to us this morning, the gleeful woman admitted she was tossing and turning all night after learning she'd become a millionaire just before bed.
"It's so surreal," she exclaimed.
"I didn't sleep a wink last night!
"We won $98 on our Saturday Gold Lotto ticket from the weekend and decided to use some of those winnings to buy a ticket into Weekday Windfall.
"I was sitting on the couch with my hubby yesterday, and I turned to him and asked him to choose five numbers. I normally mark my own numbers but decided to let him contribute.
"Who would've thought those numbers would have landed us $1 million!
"Hubby went to work as usual but we're still in so much shock!"
With $1 million about to boost their bank account, the Queenslanders shared they looked forward to enjoying financial freedom.
"We're going to pay out our loans and be debt-free!" she revealed.
"We can't wait!"
Their winning marked System 10 entry was purchased online via The Lott app - the official home of Australia's lotteries.
