Now i don’t know about you, but i think this has more to do with buying some lottery / raffle tickets than gluing a coin to a step… Slow News Day?

The ex-policeman, aged in his 50s, picked a winning ticket in the latest BoysTown charity lotto, netting him a luxury house on the Sunshine Coast worth more than $1.2 million.

And because he bought four tickets, which cost $15 each, he was given an extra prize – the choice between an Audi sportscar and $75,000 in gold bullion.

Feeling a tad old for the swish car, he took the gold and plans to cash it in for an overseas holiday.

The man, a bachelor who wished to remain anonymous, said he’d also sell the house – despite the lure of its views and nearby beaches – and use the money to pay off his debts.

He reckons his stroke of luck was all down to the gold coin.
