The Search is Over for the Latest Million Dollar Mossman Man
A Mossman man has returned from a week away camping to check his Gold Lotto ticket to discover he is the man we’ve all been looking for, our local mystery Division One winner of $1 million.
The Mossman man held one of the two Division One winning tickets in the draw from Wednesday 9 June 2021 and has spent a joyous week off-grid and none the wiser about his million dollar windfall.
The lucky winner told Gold Lotto,
“I’d forgotten about the ticket! I’ve been camping with no reception and hadn’t checked it until now. I’m trying to get my head around what I should do!”
The Division One winning entry was purchased at News Extra in Mossman and is the first Division One winning entry the outlet had sold.
