Man’s $20m lotto win over coffee
A man has discovered he is now $20m richer over a cup of coffee, describing the moment he realised he was a division one winner at breakfast.
“This morning, before going to work, I thought I’d check my ticket. I had a bit of a moment, all right,” he explained.
“It took a little bit to register, but I’m starting to register it now.
“I’m just sitting down now having a coffee.”
The Forester man said he always knew he was going to win the lottery one day, and had a tactic he played for decades.
“These are special numbers I’ve been playing for over 20 years. I always knew I was going to win.
“My family always said to me, ‘If anyone was ever going to win the lottery, it’s you.’
“I’ve always thought of myself as being a little bit lucky, and now I have proof.”
The man still planned to turn up to work despite receiving the huge windfall.
“I’ve still got to go to work today. I love my job, so I’ll keep working,” he said.
“I’d love to buy a house and get a new car – just the normal things.
“It will be great just knowing there’s this nest egg there.
“I’m late for work now, so I’ve gotta go!”
The winning entry was purchased at newsXpress Forster, with the prize becoming the talk of the town.
“Gossip’s got around that we’ve sold a $20m winning entry and people are coming in checking their tickets, hoping it’s them,” newsXpress team member Michaela Rinkin said.
“We last sold a division one winning entry earlier this year in Monday and Wednesday Lotto, so we’re no stranger to making millionaires.”
The winning numbers in Oz Lotto draw 1498 on November 1 were 31, 13, 30, 9, 26, 6 and 18, while the supplementary numbers were 37, 16 and 22.
