“Wow! I can’t believe it. Is this real?” he happily questioned.

“I logged into my online account and clicked on the ticket, that’s when I saw $200,000! I’m still trying to put things together. I’m speechless.

“It’s been such a hard year for my wife and I. We’ve been back and forth with trying to purchase a house with the hiking interest rates and the recent developments in the property market.

“It’s been a painful headache, but now we’re one step closer to owning our very own home. This is the best Christmas gift anyone could ask for.

“My wife arrives home from a business trip this week, and I can’t wait to surprise her with the news.

“It’s incredible. Unbelievable!”
