Sleepy Grumpy Man Happy After $30m Oz Lotto Win

A man from South Melbourne in Victoria, Australia received the shock of his life on December 7. He received a call informing him that he’d won the $30 million jackpot in the Oz Lotto draw held the previous evening.

The lucky player has asked to remain anonymous. However, he has spoken about his Oz Lotto success. He had absolutely no idea that he had won the $30 million jackpot until receiving that call from The Lott.

His ticket had been registered so that meant even if he didn’t know he’d won the jackpot, the lottery company did! In total he’d won $30,061,064.85. 

Grumpy

The newest lottery millionaire in Australia hadn’t even seen the results of the Oz Lotto draw and was in bed when the phone rang. He even had to apologise to the caller just in case he’d been a bit grumpy when answering the phone. The Oz Lotto winner joked that his brain “doesn’t work very well in the morning.”

The jackpot winner says that he isn’t a regular player of the Oz Lotto. It’s usually the Australian Powerball draw that he hopes will produce a win or two. When seeing that the Oz Lotto jackpot was $30 million he thought he’d “give it a go” and not surprisingly said that “I’m glad I got this ticket now.”

Special numbers

His ticket was the only one that was able to match: 02-05-11-24-32-34-44. The Oz Lotto jackpot winner said that for several years he has been using his “special numbers.” They aren’t birthdays or anniversaries though but the numbers worn by his favourite sports players.

When first learning of his Oz Lotto jackpot win, he initially thought he'd “go crazy” and begin a shopping spree. However, that’s not the case and instead he’s going to help his parents and then try to be “smart” with his spending.

Even though he’d become a millionaire, he went to work that day. Will he retire? “Who knows what the future holds?” he said.
