North Lakes man lands $1.25 million

A young North Lakes man is keeping cool, calm and collected after becoming a millionaire in the weekend’s Gold Lotto draw.

The Moreton Bay resident held one of the four division one winning entries nationally in Saturday's Gold Lotto draw 4567 and took home $1,259,119.90.

So far in 2025, there have been four major lottery wins in the Moreton Bay region that have collectively taken home more than $61 million in prize money.

The winning man was on his way to an appointment when he received a phone call from lottery officials revealing his bounty.

“It’s amazing,” he laughed. “It’s a nice feeling. I’m still processing it all. I’m going to take my time and make smart decisions moving forward.

“The first thing I thought when I discovered the win was, ‘how am I going to invest this!’. I’ll definitely put it away for the future.

“I’m a simple man, so I’ll keep my celebrations low-key and not tell many people. Thank you very much!”

His winning System entry was bought via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.

The winning numbers in Saturday Gold Lotto on April 26, 2025 were 38, 42, 32, 1, 21 and 7. Supplementary numbers 24 and 13.
