A young-at-heart retiree from Inner-West Sydney is ready to book his next international adventure after discovering he is $200,000 richer from the latest Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw.
The travel enthusiast held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1107 on 26 June 2018.
The Sydney man was oblivious to his win until a NSW Lotteries official made contact with him this morning to confirm his good fortune.
“Well, I think I’m having a better day now then when it started out,” he laughed.
“Thank you! I’m celebrating a birthday soon and I’m sure this is the best birthday present I’m ever going to receive.
“That’s beautiful.”
Despite the surprise of the Lucky Lotteries win, the man knew exactly how he would use his prize.
While he had feared his travelling days were coming to an end, the happy retiree said the windfall had reignited his wanderlust.
“I’m definitely going to renew my passport,” he declared.
“There’s a few places in the world I’m in love with and I can’t wait to go back to those.”
The winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased his entry of one random number online at thelott.com – Australia’s official lotteries.
