They were overcome by emotion when the win was confirmed by lottery operator (The Lott). The couple said they’ve not had the easiest life, so are looking forward to chilling out and will most likely will give up work immediately. Further, the couple described themselves as ‘Aussie battlers’.

“I’m in tears mate! Every time I think I’m okay, the waterworks kick off again,” said the man.

The couple don’t think they’ll make it back to work

“I don’t even know what to do with myself. Retirement is beckoning.”

Reliving the moment they found out about the win, the husband said: “I dropped into the store this morning to check my ticket and the team member gave me a shocked look.

“He said, ‘you might need to sit down, mate’.

He said he couldn’t wait to share it with my family. Overall, their aim is to set everyone up and make sure they don’t have to worry about a thing.

Jeanine Chatfield, the owner of the First Inland City Newsagency, offered her congratulations to the winners and said it was a great moment for the local store.

“I’m pretty sure everyone in town will be talking about it today. It will cause big excitement in the community,” she said.

“It’s pretty cool. We’ve very excited and very happy.”

She continued be saying, “We’ve had a bit of a winning year. We’ve already sold two first prize-winning tickets in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot, and now this!

“It’s great for Goulburn. It’s a big thrill for everyone.”

Joe Thwaite, 49, and Jess Thwaite, 44, bagged the huge EuroMillions jackpot of £184 million. The couple were given their oversized cheque during a media event in Cheltenham on 19th May. They said their luck was ‘pretty terrible’ before this big win.

The husband and wife duo matched all five numbers, 3, 25, 27, 28 and 29, plus Lucky Stars 4 and 9, in a historic draw. They contacted the National Lottery immediately after the draw. After getting their claim validated, they waiting a few days before deciding to release their names to the public. It was a decision taken with consideration of their family and friends.

The winning ticket was a Lucky Dip that was purchased on the day of the draw by Joe. His wife did not believe him when he told her they won. They had to check the numbers many before truly believing they’d actually won. Before the win, Jess ran and worked in a salon, while Joe worked as a communication sales engineer. The couple continued to live their lives as normal while they waited for the win to be confirmed.

They told their family members as soon as the win was confirmed and received very mixed reactions. Jess’s mother ‘screamed in the car park and burst into tears’. Jess said her mum is a regular lottery follower and knew the jackpot amount, ‘right down to the 10p at the end’.

Looking towards the future

The Thwaites plan to take some time to think about their future. They describe themselves as ‘normal people’ who got very lucky. The couple bought their current house two months ago, which has plenty of room for renovation.

Lots of holidays could coming-up. The Thwaites have two children, and their youngest has always wanted to visit Hawaii.

Joe has made the decision to leave his job. Jess is not sure what her future holds, but feels it will be a ‘full-time job just managing all of this for quite some time’.

Last Thursday marked the last day to redeem the winning ticket, which was sold at a convenience store in a suburb of LA, and no-one came forward to claim the prize. The winning ticket was purchased on Nov. 14, 2020, with last Thursday being the last day the ticket could be redeemed for the prize.

Her claim is being investigated by California Lottery officials, with the store’s manager providing CCTV video showed the women who purchased the ticket, she is also known to staff at the store as a regular customer. California Lottery officials have the footage, but have said that its not enough proof to claim the amazing winning money – Officials need a picture of the front and back of the ticket in order to allow a person to win without the physical ticket. Rules state that someone who believes they are a winner, must complete a claim form.

Spokeswoman from the lottery Cathy Johnston has said if someone has lost their ticket, they must also provide evidence they owned it in the first place, such as a photograph of the front and back of it. The $26m prize can be taken in annual instalments or as a $19.7m (£14m) cash option.

If the prize is not claimed, the $19.7m will go to public schools in and around California. The store that sold the ticket would have received a $130k (£92,000) bonus.

It is uncommon for large jackpots to go unclaimed, officials said. 4 prizes of $20m (£14.2m) or more have gone unclaimed since 1997, including a $63m (£45m) jackpot from 2015.

Is this is luckiest newsagents in Western Australia? It just might be after selling two winning lottery tickets within days of each other. What store is it, you ask? Well, it was the Carramar Lottery Centre and News, located in the suburbs.

Lottery-west spokesman James Mooney said it had been a particularly eventful week for WA players.

“This ticket from Carramar Lottery Centre and News in Morley was the second division one ticket sold at this retailer in the space of a week,” Mr Moone

“We are still in the first month of 2020 and have already welcomed six division one players to our winners’ room.”

Winner Number One

Last Saturday, a man from Perth bought a winning Saturday Lotto division one ticket. The West Australian lottery winner revealed the moment he discovered the true extent of his winnings.

“I went to my retailer to double-check my ticket, and when he told me my it was worth $1.6 million my gob hit the floor,” the man said.

He initially believe his prize had been split three-ways with two other winners. However, that was not the case. In fact, we won the full $1.6 million to himself.

The winner was planning to travel abroad with his partner. He talks about his plans after the win.

“When I thought I had won $500,000, I planned to upgrade our seats to business class, but now I’ll be going first,” he said.

Winner Number Two

Only a few days earlier, Carramar Lottery Centre and News had changed the life of another customer. It sold another winning Saturday Lotto division one ticket, with the lucky winner receiving more than $866,700.

Interestingly, a psychic told the winner previously that they would receive a $600,000 windfall! Coincidence?

Happy Staff

A worker at the store, Milan Gohil, sold two lucky tickets within one week.

“I saw a few new faces after the previous draw, so I hope their decision to try out our store will have a good impact for them.”

He made it clear it was a unique start to the year.

It seems like 2020 is going to be a very lucky year for Australian lottery games, with this week’s jackpots including $40 million Powerball and $5 million Oz Lotto.

A $5 million draw was last night. The next chances to win continue tomorrow with the $40 million Powerball, which is already drawing high levels of attention online.

Is the year of the Rat a lucky lottery Zodiac?

Last year The Lott, released the findings of a new survey of more than 100 previous division-one winners. The majority of winners of Australian lotto used the money to safeguard for the future. For example, it found most winners celebrated by investing, helping out loved ones and buying a house.

“Each year, we crown about 400 division-one winners across our lottery games,” Lott spokeswoman Ally Ramsamy said.

“Many of these only discover their good fortune after we make contact with them…

“Not surprisingly, many division-one winners are stunned by the revelation and describe that winning feeling as one of complete and utter disbelief.”

A wildfire victim from Australia wins a millionaire on the lottery. His family is celebrating a miracle. His uninsured family home burnt don in the recent fires.

The unidentified man was devastated after his home burned down in New South Wales during the horrendous bushfires in Australia. Apparently, he feared he’d never be able to rebuild his home because he was uninsured.

On Thursday, lottery officials contacted him at work. Authorities told him he had won the top prize, which was approximately £525,000. He used his wife’s lucky numbers to win Wednesday’s Gold Lotto.

Furthermore, the winner, who remained anonymous, said he was overjoyed knowing that he could now rebuild his family home.

“All that was left of the home was a few charred teacups. We didn’t know if we would ever be able to rebuild but now we definitely can. This is amazing. I can’t get over it.”

The man was the only “Division One” — or jackpot — winner in the lottery that day. The winning numbers were 9, 42, 24, 13, 22 and 11, and the 26 and 1.

Many other effected by the fires…

On Thursday the NSW Rural Fire Service confirmed 1,870 homes had been destroyed, with a further 753 damaged. Fire officials say these figures are likely to increase.

Over half a billion animals are dead or suffering because of the wildfires.

As of Thursday, 132 fires continue to burn in the area. 55 are still not contained.

The death toll stands at 26. Additionally, 10.3 million hectares of land burn and thousands of people evacuated from holiday beaches.

The winner, from Mount Cotton in Queensland, said the timing of the win was “impeccable”.

The winner purchased his winning entry online at thelott.com, Australia’s official lotteries.

Other Australians are not so fortunate as they face the devastating aftermath of the country’s worst bushfire season.

On Wednesday 18 December, John and Allison McDonald purchased a lucky dip ticket that happened to matched all six numbers.

Shortly after, three days to be precise, the UK couple from Stockton-on-Tees heard that 15-year-old Ewan was free of cancer. He had non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a form of cancer that develops in the lymphatic system. The teenager had been undergoing chemotherapy after being diagnosed in May 2019.

The win has given the couple the “financial security to buy a lovely new family home”.

“It is just like all of our lifelong dreams came true in the space of three days,” says John McDonald.

“What a start to 2020,” said John. During an interview, he said his “legs were trembling” as he rang lottery operator Camelot. Allison, who had been to the dentist, saw that her husband had called her. She immediately thought the worse.

“I just thought, ‘Oh no, why is he calling me – something must be wrong, something terrible has happened, has something gone wrong with Ewan?’ She was in disbelief when the call was about their lottery winnings.

“Never did I believe when I called him back he would be telling me we had won the lottery jackpot.”

John said: “Everyone always dreams of winning the lottery at Christmas – and talks about how amazing this would be – but Allison and I never believed it would happen to us – and it has.

“And then to receive news that Ewan’s latest scans are all clear is just truly amazing. We are so thankful.

2020 certainly looks to be one amazing year for the three of them. “We can both now afford to stop work and spend time with our family making memories – something we could only have ever dreamed of doing,” Mrs McDonald said.

Mrs McDonald, 49, worked in an opticians. Mr McDonald, 62, often worked 70-hour weeks as a security officer. Both have now handed in their notices.

The couple also have two other children and three grandchildren, who they can enjoy more time with.
