A humble Port Augusta retiree has declared winning a $613,000 division one prize in X Lotto was a ā€˜beautiful feelingā€™ while revealing he plans to give it all away to loved ones.

The Spencer Gulf resident held one of the seven division one winning entries nationally in Saturday X Lotto draw 4039 drawn Saturday 4 April 2020. Each division one winning entry takes home a prize of $613,016.67.

Sharing his joy with an official from the Lott, the happy winner revealed he had humble plans for his windfall.

ā€œIā€™m giving it all away to my family!ā€ he declared.

ā€œIā€™m going to pay off my childrenā€™s mortgages and give some to my friends.

ā€œIā€™m going to buy my neighbour a new car as he often drives me around. Now we can drive in style.

ā€œI donā€™t need it for myself. Iā€™ve got a nice little house and people to look after me.

ā€œThe only thing I might buy myself is a nice new comfortable bed.ā€

The thrilled winner said he had been vying for the chance to win the big one for decades.

ā€œIā€™ve been playing X Lotto ever since it began,ā€ he confessed.

ā€œA couple of years ago I won division two but finally winning division one is just a beautiful feeling!ā€

The thrilled winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased his winning entry at Terry White Chemists ā€“ Port Lincoln, 43 Liverpool Street, Port Lincoln.
