Lotto winners searching for ‘dream home’

A Horsham couple is looking forward to retiring from work, buying a ‘dream home’ by the ocean and embracing the ‘beach bum’ life after winning $1-million.

The couple held one of two winning divisionone entries nationally in Monday and Wednesday’s Lotto draw 4111. Each winning division-one entry scored $1-million.

The happy Horsham pair admitted struggling to comprehend the million-dollar news.

“We are so nervous. We have been waiting for your call,” the winning woman said.

“We’re so doubtful. This kind of thing doesn’t happen to people like us. Are you sure?

“This morning, I got out of bed and checked my ticket straight away. I was half asleep, so I couldn’t see the screen properly, but then I noticed all six numbers were lit up.

“I went and got my husband to check, and he said, ‘No way! That can’t be right’. This is unbelievable. It’s life-changing for us.”

When asked how they planned to enjoy their million-dollar prize, the overjoyed duo admitted they had one thing in mind.

“We are both going to retire from work,” the woman said.

“We’ve been dreaming about this moment. Then we are going to move and buy a place right on the beach. We want to be beach bums. We’ve already been house shopping online this morning and have picked out a few we’d like to look at.

“We’ve won at the best time because this means we can really enjoy life and have a fantastic retirement.”
