Confirming his incredible windfall with an official from The Lott, the speechless Sydney dad confessed the win came by complete surprise.

This is great!” the winning man laughed.

“I really had no idea how much I’d won.

“You don’t get to see the amount on the screen after the retailer checks the ticket for you.

“I took my ticket to my daughter a bit later and had her check the ticket again for me.

“When I saw that it was $100,000, we were so happy and excited.

“I’ve been playing for a long time, but I’ve never won any major prizes.

“I’ll probably take my family out to dinner somewhere.

“Thank you so much.”

His winning entry of one random number was purchased at Ermington Newsagency, 2 Betty Cuthbert Avenue, Ermington.

The Ermington Newsagency team said that they were overjoyed to have sold a 1st Prize winning entry to a local. They wish their winner a warm congratulations and all the best for the future.
