They had won a cool $1 million and were the only people in Australia with a winning division one ticket.

One of the first questions one of the winners asked was whether the news was genuine.

“Are you serious? This isn’t a scam or something, is it? I don’t know if I should believe you or not," the man said.

“It doesn’t feel real. Things like this don’t happen to us."

After a few minutes their thoughts turned to the future and the potential to retire a few years early.

“We will probably spend a little bit on ourselves and keep the rest for our children so we can set them up for the future," the woman said.

“We’re both ready to retire, so this will definitely help with that. Perhaps now we can go on a few holidays.”

So far this year the $1 million win is the third major prize winning ticket sold by Griffin Plaza Newsagency.

“It’s always so exciting to sell a division one winning entry, but to sell three major prize winning entries in just two months is amazing!” newsagency employee Katelin Taylor said.

“We’ve been so lucky this year, we’re on an incredible winning streak, that’s for sure.

“We’ve picked up a lot of new customers because of all the wins, a lot of people are coming in to purchase tickets from us because we’ve sold so many winning ones lately."

The winning numbers for the Monday and Wednesday Lotto draw 3846 were 14, 40, 25, five, 23 and 18 with supplementaries 19 and three.
