The life-changing entry was purchased at Southlands Newsagency, in Mawson, with owner Greg Gow saying he hoped his division one winner checked their tickets and discovered the incredible news soon.

“We’re completely over the moon! When we first heard we had sold a division one winning entry we we’re so excited. It’s fantastic news for our outlet and local community,” he said.
