A Melbourne man confessed he cracked a stubbie, smiled, and simply stared at his winning entry after realising he’d won more than $10 million in last night’s Oz Lotto draw.

The Victorian resident held one of the two division one winning entries in Oz Lotto draw 1512, drawn Tuesday 7 February 2023. He scored $10,040,989.20.

“It’s a pretty good effort isn’t it!” the winning man laughed when an official from The Lott confirmed the winning news.

“I buy tickets from all over Melbourne when I get the chance. It’s a little superstition of mine that finally came to fruition.

“You wouldn’t believe how good I feel this morning.

“It’s going to change my life!

“I’m going to retire and buy a property in Queensland. That’s the place I feel the happiest.

“Honestly, I’m struggling to process it. I can’t believe it’s real.

“The world is my oyster now, and I plan on enjoying every moment from now on.

“Thank you so much!”

His winning System-9 QuickPick entry was purchased at Broadway Lotto, 238 Broadway, Reservoir.

“It’s just fantastic to know we’ve helped someone in the community to have a better life.

“We always say, we sell hopes and dreams and sometimes those dreams come true.

“I’m going to have balloons and streamers up to let everyone know we sold a division one winning entry. It’s cause for celebration!

“To our winner; enjoy it, let it sink in and all the best for the future.”
