A Collingwood man is ready to step out of the rental market and into homeownership after scoring $1 million in a recent Weekday Windfall draw.

The merry Melburnian held the only division one winning entry nationally in Weekday Windfall draw 4438, drawn Wednesday 4 September 2024 and pocketed a total prize of $1,000,000.00.

The fortunate winner was moved to tears upon hearing the life-changing news, explaining that he had been searching for a new place to live for months without success.

“Thank you very much! Oh wow. I feel overwhelmed,” he said.

“That’s incredible. I’m speechless. I really am. I don’t know what to say.

“I couldn’t be more grateful. This is a new start. I’ve been living with family, looking for a place to live. This is major.

“Instead of looking through the ‘For rent’ columns, I can now look at the ‘For sale’ columns!

“As a single bloke, finding a place on your own can be tricky but this changes everything.

“I’m looking forward to celebrating with a few close friends and family.

“Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!”

His winning entry was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
