“We’ve had a pretty tough year, and now this is such an amazing moment in our lives.
“I’ve just been talking to my adult kids about how I can now assist them getting their first homes. It’s such a great relief as a parent.
“I discovered the win on New Years Day. I’d kicked on until 3am after a great night. I fell asleep, woke up and thought Id’ better check if I’d won… and I had!
“I’ll sit down and work out what I’ll do with it all. The first thing I’ll do is pay off the mortgage, and if there’s a little treat to be had, I’d love a new car.
“I’m going to have an incredible 2022. I know that!”
The winner’s 36-game QuickPick was purchased at OTR Swanport Road, 159 Swanport Road, Murray Bridge.
