A Dubbo West man couldn't help but weep for joy when he discovered he won $1 million in last night's Monday & Wednesday lotto draw.
The Orana Region resident held one of the four division one winning entries nationally in Monday & Wednesday Lotto draw 4264, drawn Monday 27 February 2023.
"Thank you!" the winning man wept when speaking with us this morning.
"Would you believe I lost the ticket at first?
"We found it, but I had everyone looking for it and as it turns out - it was in my wallet the entire time!
"I've been playing for several years and the most I've won is $1,000!
"I can't believe it! I will share this win with my children and go on a trip with my partner!
"Thank you so much."
The winning entry was purchased at Dubbo West Post Office, T8 & T9, Delroy Park Shopping Centre, Minore Road & Baird Drive, Dubbo.
Dubbo West Post Office owner Lea Callan said they were excited to have sold their first division one winning entry.
"We couldn't believe it! We thought the news might've been a hoax email," he said.
"Our team and our customers are so excited. We are so happy to have sold another!"
