Mr. Coghlan’s wife Wilma Coghlan said he couldn’t believe the news.

“On their days, many people and caregivers were told on a bus with many people and caregivers, so everyone heard it … They were really excited,” he said.

“The caregiver told me and I said, ‘Don’t be stupid’, but ‘that’s right.’ Said. “

Ms. Coghlan said that her reward money makes her feel financially “safe ve and that the couple plans to treat themselves with a holiday in Esperance or Adelaide.

“We don’t have much money and it will be useful not to worry about the future … This will be a good safe feeling,” he said.

“We used to live in Esperance for years and we always like to go back there and make a nice holiday, so we will stay in a beautiful place instead of going to a caravan.
