One lucky Mt Gravatt resident has beaten the odds to become the country’s sole winner of a recent $5 million windfall.
The significant win occurred during draw 1540 on Thursday, 20 November 2025. As the sole winner of the top prize, the Brisbane local will take home a total of $5,251,913.32. She is set to receive the funds on Friday, 5 December 2025, which she noted would arrive perfectly in time to celebrate Christmas and the New Year.
The excitement began on a Friday morning when officials called to deliver the news. The winner admitted she was initially hesitant to answer the phone, fearing the unknown number was a scam or a “dodgy” caller.
Once the news was confirmed, however, her reaction shifted from suspicion to physical shaking. She described being in absolute disbelief alongside her husband, who was with her when the call came through.
The winning 12-game entry was purchased using The Lott app. The winner revealed that the numbers were not chosen at random but were a combination of family birthdates and wedding anniversaries. With the $5 million prize soon to be deposited, she shared her main priority for the future. Her husband will now be able to retire from work. Although she had previously promised herself she would keep any big win a secret, the magnitude of the news made her want to share her joy with everyone.
