The couple's numbers did them proud in the Saturday, February 8, 2014, Australia Lotto draw, but they didn't realize they had won because they had been overseas.
The couple's identity has not been revealed, but one of them said: "After 40 years of working hard, this prize can now work hard for us and our family."
To win the Australia Saturday Lotto jackpot players have to match all six main numbers in the draw. The jackpot for next Saturday's draw is AUD$ 4 million.
