The top prize winning $1 ticket was purchased at Foodworks Worrigee.
The regular played shared his excitement with an official from The Lott and 2021 is looking up already.
"I bought the ticket with some change I had in my pocket and couldn't believe it when I scratched it," he said.
"I checked it over and over again, and then got everyone else to check it as well!
"We're going to use it to get ahead and pay a few bills. It's a great feeling."
Foodworks Worrigee owner Allen De Costa said the win marked a special milestone for the outlet.
"We've been opened for just over 12 months now and this is the first top prize winning ticket we've sold.
"We're so happy for our winner and hope this is the beginning of plenty more big prizes for our customers.
"Congratulations to them."
