Man Discovers $20m Oz Lotto win at 3am
A man from Doncaster in Melbourne, Victoria has won a $20 million Oz Lotto jackpot in the draw held on June 13. His win was discovered when going out to buy a ticket for an even larger jackpot.
He was busy working an early morning shift but finding it difficult to concentrate. The lucky Oz Lotto winner just couldn’t keep still as he tried to accept what had happened.
His ticket was the only one that was a division one winning entry and it’s changed his life forever.
Still shaking
“I’m still shaking,” joked the Oz Lotto winner when his fantastic lottery win was confirmed. It was 3am that morning when he made his amazing discovery. A keen lottery player, he went out to buy a ticket for the June 15 $60 million Australian Powerball draw.
Such a shock
Never did he imagine that he was already a multi-millionaire. “It was such a shock,” he admitted. Then he added with a glint in his eye: “I don’t really need to worry about tomorrow night’s draw anymore – I’ve got $20 million!
He regularly buys tickets for both the Oz Lotto and Australian Powerball draws as “a little treat to myself.” That’s been the case for over ten years and what a treat it’s been this month.
His wife and daughter were with him when chatting to lottery officials. “My wife is happy, my daughter is very happy. It’s something I’ll remember for the rest of my life,” said the Oz Lotto winner.
His daughter describes her father as “really hard working” and he “deserves the world.” Never before has he received anything like this, his daughter added.”
Helping his family
Plans for the $20 million Oz Lotto win include paying off his loans and that task will begin with his house mortgage. “Most importantly, I’ll help my family. I’ll share it around,” he commented.
Not surprisingly, he said: “You’ve brightened my day!” Hs winning Oz Lotto ticket had been bought from BP Prahran and was a QuickPick entry.
