“Holy f***ing s***!” he exclaimed.
“Are you kidding me?! Holy s***!
“Oh my lord! Oh my lord!
“I can’t believe it. Holy, holy, holy!
“I had no idea. I’m just starting my day at work. I have to call my parents and partner immediately!
“My mum is really into lotteries; she won’t believe it.
“I’m really trying to wrap my head around it all myself. I can’t believe this. Oh my god!”
With $15 million now in his pocket, the generous man can’t wait to lend a helping hand to loved ones, offering support to those who’ve been doing it tough.
“I’ll help my friends and family who have been really struggling,” he shared.
“I have a few people in mind. I can’t wait to make their lives easier.
