An Edgeworth man is hitting the gas on plans to upgrade his worn-out wheels after scoring a cool $1 million in a recent Weekday Windfall draw.
The New South Wales resident held one of the two division one winning entries nationally in Weekday Windfall draw 4462, drawn Wednesday 30 October 2024. Each entry pocketed $1 million.
As the winning entry was unregistered, officials from The Lott had no way of contacting the ticketholder and had to wait for him to check his ticket and come forward.
“Thank you very much!” he laughed.
“I’m really good now!
“I had no idea. I checked my ticket yesterday, but it was coming up with a strange message, so I thought it was a mistake.
“I went back in today and now I know the real reason it wasn’t making sense.”
With $1 million in his sights, the delighted winner is looking forward to parking a brand-new car in his driveway.
“Well, it’s going to make life much easier,” he said.
“I’ll be able to buy a new car! I’m not sure what type but I certainly have a lot of options now.
“Thank you again. Now time to go home and relax.”
His winning entry was purchased from Edgeworth Newsagency, Shop 9, 720 Main Road, Edgeworth.
