“You’re Kidding Me!” – Darling Downs Winner Takes Home $80,000

One lucky LifeFlight Lotteries supporter from Darling Downs, Queensland, has received a phone call they won’t forget after ticket #19099 was drawn as the winner of our incredible $80,000 prize.

And their reaction said it all.

“You’re kidding me!” Followed moments later by: “Are you kidding me?”

The winner had only recently joined the Rescue Ready Crew, LifeFlight Lotteries’ monthly subscription, with a $20 ticket book. Just two draws into their Rescue Ready Crew journey, ticket #19099 delivered an incredible $80,000 win.

A win close to home

Living and working in regional Queensland, our winner understands just how important access to emergency aeromedical services can be for communities outside major metropolitan areas.

Having worked in healthcare for more than two decades, they were already very familiar with the work of LifeFlight and the vital role our crews play across Queensland.

When we thanked them for their support, their response captured exactly why they chose to get behind LifeFlight:

“You never know when you’re going to need it.”

As the reality of the win began to sink in, the disbelief quickly turned to emotion.

“It’s made my day. I can’t wait to tell my partner!”

Our winner chose to receive their prize as the full $80,000 cash, which they planned to put straight into the bank.

Could you be our next winner?

For this lucky supporter, joining the Rescue Ready Crew was a way to regularly support LifeFlight while also going into the draw to win. Just two draws later, they’re now $80,000 richer.

By joining the Rescue Ready Crew, supporters receive automatic entries into eligible LifeFlight Lotteries draws, while helping support LifeFlight’s lifesaving work across Queensland.

You never know when the next winning ticket could be yours.
