Many lucky Australians have won Australia's biggest home lottery, the RSL Art Union Golden Treasure. How would you react if you win?
Are you kidding me?
When "Trevor the tradie" won a Gold Coast prize home valued at $3.3 million with the RSL Art Union's Golden Treasure Draw 295 in May 2012, he took a few moments to realise that he'd won Australia's biggest home lottery. Read the following transcribed extract of the phone call between Luke Traini, General Manager of the RSL Art Union and Trevor:
General Manager (Luke) - "Yeah, you'd never guess who won."
Winner (Trevor) - "Who?"
General Manager (Luke) - "It was this guy from Burleigh Heads who had a $50 book and then two more $10 books that he bought on the web. "
Winner (Trevor) - "Are you kidding me?"
General Manager (Luke) - "I'm not kidding you. I'm standing here in Robina at the Golden Treasure. We've just finished the draw."
Winner (Trevor) - "Oh God... are you-are you kidding me?"
General Manager (Luke) - "I'm not. You're a multi-millionaire. Congratulations!"
Winner (Trevor) - "Oh my God... You're kidding me... we won the RSL... $3.3 million bucks worth... Are you kidding me Luke?"
General Manager (Luke) - "No, I'm the General Manager of the Art Union. All my staff are here. We've just conducted the draw at 10 o'clock under our gaming licence..."
Winner (Trevor) - "Oh my God! I'm just thinking - geez I'd love to be in that. I'm waiting for the phone call. Nah 10 o'clock, I've missed out again!"
General Manager (Luke) - "Well, you've gotta answer your phone, Trevor." (laughter) "So, uh... so..."
Winner (Trevor) - "Oh my gosh... oh my gosh!"
General Manager (Luke) - "So congratulations! We thank you very much for your ticket purchases because, uh, it's purchasers like yourself that help us deliver services to the veteran community so we sincerely thank you for that."
