A Candelo man has confessed he didn’t know what to say or do after checking his Saturday Lotto entry yesterday morning and discovering he’d bagged a $400,000 prize.
The New South Wales man held one of the 13 division one winning entries in Saturday Lotto draw 4447 on Saturday 2 March 2024. Each division one winning entry scored $400,641.05.
“Mate, this is bloody unbelievable!” the winning man cheered when an official from The Lott called to confirm his windfall.
“I’ve never won anything! Not even a chook raffle.
“My wife and I were just going about our Sunday morning, and I thought I’d check my ticket.
“At first, I didn’t think I’d won anything but I clicked through and my jaw nearly fell off my face.
“I just stopped and said, ‘Oh my god’.
“My wife didn’t believe me at first, but we’ve just been in a state of shock since.
“It’s going to help so much.
“We need a new car, we’ll pay off some debt and we’ll prepare for the future.
“I’ve been playing lotteries for decades so this is phenomenal.
“Thank you so much.”
His winning 6-game QuickPick entry was purchased online at thelott.com – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
