Immediate Retirement for $4.8m Set for Life Winner

If you’ve been working hard all your life, retirement can be something to look forward to. That’s what a man from Cranbourne in Melbourne, Australia is going to do after a $4.8m Set for Life win on April 5.

The lucky player describes himself as a “battler.” He was at work when receiving the most important phone call of his life. It was the Lott calling to tell him of his Set for Life win. He was told that he’ll be receiving $20,000 a month for the next 20 years.

A blubbering mess

It is perhaps not too surprising that the Set for Life winner said: “Woo-hoo! This is the best phone call I’ve ever received. This is fantastic.” Still in shock, he couldn’t stop shaking and crying. “I’m a blubbering mess,” he told the Lott.

The win has come after a few years of struggling. He’s been working hard trying to set himself up for the future. Such has been his desire to save for his retirement. The Set for Life winner said that he had been “salary sacrificing” in his bid to do that.

Those years of sacrificing are now overand he is going to retire right away. The win also means that he can pay his children’s mortgages. “That is so important to me,” said the delighted player.

The world’s my oyster

Another dream he can fulfil is to travel more. “I’ve never been overseas or even out of the state. So, I’d love to take my family on holiday soon.The world’s my oyster. This changes everything for me.”

He still had work to finish that day. After receiving news of his Set for Life win that was something he wasn’t sure he could do. Hopefully his bosses put him on light duties for the day.

His winning Set for Life ticket was purchased from the Hunt Club Lotto in Cranbourne East. That’s owned by Rommy Sia who has been in charge for three years. This is the biggest win they’ve had in that time.
