An NSW man is celebrating a $1 million win in the recent Weekday Windfall draw, with plans to replace his old car thanks to his newfound fortune.
The Edgeworth resident held one of two Division One-winning entries nationally in Draw 4462, conducted on Wednesday, 30 October 2024. Each Division One winner claimed $1 million.
The unregistered ticket left lotto officials unable to reach the ticketholder, who only discovered his win when he checked his ticket.
“I’m really good now!” he laughed, adding that he initially thought there was a mistake after the ticket displayed an unusual message.
“I went back in today, and now I know the real reason it wasn’t making sense.”
With $1 million in his sights, the delighted winner is looking forward to parking a brand-new car in his driveway.
“Well, it’s going to make life much easier,” he said.
“I’ll be able to buy a new car! I’m not sure what type but I certainly have a lot of options now.
“Thank you again. Now time to go home and relax.”
His winning entry was purchased from Edgeworth Newsagency, Shop 9, 720 Main Road, Edgeworth.
The winning numbers in Weekday Windfall draw 4462 on Wednesday 30 October 2024 were 6, 11, 7, 35, 3 and 28, while the supplementary numbers were 5 and 44.
Across Australia, there were two division one winning entries in Weekday Windfall draw 4462 – one in New South Wales and one in Victoria.
