This morning, an official from The Lott contacted the winner, who was oblivious to his millionaire status.

“Good god! Fair dinkum? You’re being serious?” he exclaimed.

“This is unbelievable!

“I did not expect this call on a Monday morning. It’s absolutely made my week before it’s even begun.

“I’m feeling pretty good now. I’ll have to give my family a call and ask them to sit down before I give them the news.

“Thinking about it now, I’ve got no idea what to do! I’ll have to pay off my mortgage and have a think about what I do next.

“But it’s going to make my life easier, I know that for sure.

“I only play every now and then, so this is such a shock.

“Thank you so much for calling and telling me!”
