A Wollongong man is ecstatic about finally being able to buy his dream home after winning big in the latest Weekday Windfall draw.
The New South Wales resident held one of two division one winning entries nationally in Weekday Windfall draw 4435. Each division one winning entry scooped $1 million.
“Woo! I’ve been expecting this phone call!” he yelled when a lotto official called to confirm the marvellous news.
“I’m running to go get my ticket! I feel numb.
“This is going to completely pivot my life. Seriously, this is life changing.
“I’ve been playing these same numbers for over 20 years. They’re birthdays and special dates and I’ve always kept using them because they usually give me a small win.
“I checked my ticket this morning but to have it confirmed by you is something else. I’m jittery now!
“I had to tell my parents straight away - they play the lottery each week as well. Mum started crying and Dad was straight onto it asking, ‘What’s the next step?’.
“I’ve been to hell and back these past few years. They know all about it so they’re over the moon for me.
“It’s going straight to a house! I’ve been desperately working towards getting my own place, but it’s been so difficult in the current market.
“I can’t believe it. I’ve been so stressed about it all, but this just takes away so much pressure.
“It’s a nice early Father’s Day present for myself too!
“Thank you so much!”
