Probably not, at odds of 678,000 to one, but you could be $4 million richer and not even know it.
And with the amount of visitors in town for the Gold Coast 600 Supercars event, you may not even be from the Sunshine State.
The call went out long and loud for the owner of the unregistered ticket sold at Main Beach's Surf Newsagency ahead of the weekend's Saturday Tattslotto draw.
Almost nothing was known about the mystery winner, who in a rare feat won the $4.1 million division one prize solo, a first since March.
"It was an unregistered ticket so we're not sure who the lucky winner is," newsagent owner co-owner Kay Burns said.
"We had the Gold Coast racing here over the three-day break, over the weekend and there was a conference at one of the resorts here and lots of people at Sea World and the markets on Saturday so it could be anyone."
Tatts Lotteries didn't know any more about the winner but spokeswoman Elissa Lewis was able to throw around a few educated guesses, pointing to the possibility of a one-off or less regular player.
"Looking at the draw numbers, the numbers are quite high so the majority of them are above 30," she said.
"And what we know is that most people that play Saturday Lotto play with favourite numbers, which are generally birthdays or anniversary dates or house numbers so they tend to be less than 31, which could also indicate why this winner is the only division one winning entry."
Whoever they are, they're one of three unwitting millionaires working around Queensland.
Ms Lewis said the winner of a $2 million draw from Cairns in January 2014 and a $1 million draw from Morayfield in June last year were also still outstanding.
Those winning numbers? More than eleven, 37; jump and jive, 35; Sweet 16, never been kissed; Two little ducks, 22; Winnie the Pooh, 42; 39, Steps.
