Lucky seven

“It’s certainly been a winning 2020 for Moreton Bay lottery players with seven division one and first prize lottery wins landing in the region so far this year,” says The Lott spokesperson Lauren Cooney.

“The year isn’t over yet and we may still see more lottery wins fall in the area. We’ll be starting 2021 with a bang thanks to Saturday Lotto’s $30 million Megadraw on January 2.”
