The Victorian is now nearly $1 million richer, having secured one of the 21 division one winning entries, each pocketing $952,380.96, in the draw on July 27, 2024.
“It feels kind of weird – a little bit surreal. Stuff like this doesn’t happen to people like me,” he shared when speaking to a lotto official.
“Oh my god! It’s insane!
“I had no idea. I was making my morning coffee and still getting sleep out of my eyes when I got a message to check my ticket.
“I’ve been using these numbers in different combinations for a while. It’s a couple of family birthdates and numbers like that.
“I still work but this might speed up my retirement plans.
“I’ve got some thinking to do and am going to need a strong coffee!
“This is not a bad interruption to my morning, that’s for sure!”
