“Holy s---, I’m rapt, I am absolutely rapt."
The man, who bought his ticket at Indooroopilly Shopping Centre, said he would quit his job in the new year.
“I’m still working and I am so tired, I keep telling everyone if I win the lottery I am resigning immediately.
“Bloody oath! That’s the first thing I am going to do, I will finally retire. I can relax and get my health in order and just enjoy myself."
Meanwhile, a man from Nerang on the Gold Coast is "still dizzy" after winning the lottery twice in a few years.
“Only a few years ago I shared a million-dollar winning syndicate with my friend, now I’m a multimillionaire," he said.
"It’s unbelievable. I think I am the luckiest man alive."
The Gold Coast man said he would use the prize to cut down on work and travel the world with his wife.
“I think we will start with a holiday to New Zealand,” he said.
“Then a cruise and who knows what else. Maybe we will fly business class."
A woman from Ormeau, also on the Gold Coast, found out she was among 11 other Queensland division one winners.
"I’d seen a news article saying there was a mystery winner from Ormeau and after being at the beach all day I checked my ticket late last night," she said.
“I didn’t believe it at first, of course, and I got no sleep. I only play lottery games very rarely, I bought the ticket last minute when I went to the shops to get bread. I wasn’t expecting to win anything."
