The great-grandparents are one of the four division one winners from last night’s draw.
Francis and Nick couldn’t believe it when the winning numbers were called out last night.
“He just said come and check it, so we did, you’ve gotta be mistaken, there’s no way,” Francis said.
9News cameras were on the Burpengary couple when they strolled into the newsagency after The Lott put a call out for the mystery winners to come forward.
“It’s unbelievable, you can see the nervousness and feeling,” Burpengary Central News owner Prakash Valia said.
“I had to turn the fan on for her.”
The couple had only played the Weekday Windfall game once before purchasing last night’s million-dollar ticket.
Francis bought the ticket after making a small fortune on her very first entry.
“I got fourteen bucks, didn’t I? $14 on it,” Francis told 9News.
“I said ‘oh, I’ll just have another one’.”
Andrea Rutledge sold Francis the winning ticket on Tuesday and was thrilled to have helped the couple.
“It’s good to know that someone’s going to change their life,” Andrea said.
The great-grandparents now plan to tick off a bucket list trip to Morocco.
