Twenty-eight Australians woke up to a brighter Father’s Day after winning Division 1 in the weekend’s $21 Million Superdraw. There were nine Superdraw winners in Victoria, eight in Western Australia, six in New South Wales, and five in Queensland, and each winning ticket carried a prize of $750,000 for the lucky ticket holders.

A father from Forest Hill in Melbourne’s east said he couldn’t wait to share the good news with children at their “special family dinner.” When contacted by lottery officials who confirmed he held one of twenty-eight winning tickets, the man said he was having a hard time believing it and had to try and calm himself down. He purchased his winning System 9 ticket from a local newsagency and said he plans to use his $750,000 to help out his children.

A young man in his twenties, who wishes to remain anonymous, was celebrating his $750,000 win by planning a big holiday to Europe “for the very first time!” The man, who lives in the Melbourne suburb of Clayton, said he planned to invest the majority of his winnings in property, “as the market is quite strong at the moment “. His winning 12-game Quickpick was purchased online and brought him one of twenty-eight Division 1 prizes.

A male lotto player who bought his winning 50-game Quickpick from a local newsagency in Preston had a sleepless night after realising he was one of twenty-eight Division 1 winners and $750,000 richer. He said he planned to “find his feet” before making any big life changes, but that investing was on the cards. His mother was the only person he told, and he told lottery officials he was going to shout the two of them an overseas trip to celebrate.

A syndicate of ten located in and around Richmond shared in a total of $779,916 after winning Division 1 and a host of minor division prizes. Each member took home a share worth $77,991.60 and were reportedly “very excited” to find out they had received a nice chunk of money. The newsagent said the syndicate had been playing together for a long time and he was “so happy” for their good fortune.

The winning tickets were purchased from local newsagencies in Moonee Ponds, Traralgon, and Wantirna South, and lottery officials are encouraging players in these areas to check their tickets and get in contact if they match all 6 winning numbers.

On the other side of the country, Western Australia continued its phenomenal winning streak with another eight Division 1 winners, bringing the state’s total this year to over 60. The winning tickets were purchased from local newsagencies in Perth and regional Western Australia. The Perth winners hailed from Morley, Gosnells, Cloverdale, and Kardinya, while regional winners were located in Corrigin, Geraldton, Albany, and South Hedland.

Back on the east coast, a man in his sixties said his $750,000 win would bring him an early retirement. His winning 50-game Quickpick was purchased from a local newsagency in Casula, in Sydney’s south-west, but the man was unaware of the win until lottery officials contacted him with the good news. “I’m going to walk in to see the boss and tell him I’m quitting!” said the man.
