A half-a-million-dollar lottery win over the weekend has left a Goulburn resident reeling in surprise.
The Lott says the man held one of the nine division one winning entries in the Saturday Lotto draw 4477 from 15 June. Each division one winning entry pocketed $541,052.
“What the hell! I just checked my ticket. I’m dumbfounded,” he said when an official called him to confirm the news.
“That’s outstanding. Sorry, I’m really trying to maintain my composure here.
“All I keep thinking is, ‘This is a lifesaver’.”
The man said the win was going to help him and his partner and enable them to get a mortgage.
“I actually just sent her a screenshot of my ticket. I’ve tricked her so many times she didn’t believe me at first,” he said.
“Whenever I win $14 or something small, I always go ‘I won Lotto’.
“She’s very shocked it’s real this time. I think we’ll plan a short weekend away and maybe take a couple of days off work.”
The winning numbers in the Saturday Lotto draw 4477 were 34, 40, 12, 23, 36 and 38, while the supplementary numbers were 8 and 30.
The Lott said there were nine division one winning entries in the Saturday Lotto draw 4477 – three each in Queensland and Victoria, two in NSW and one in South Australia.
