A man from a southern Sydney suburb of Brighton-Le-Sands has lost his sleep and is experiencing a whirlwind of excitement after securing a massive $2.3 million win in the recent Saturday Lotto draw.
The New South Wales man couldn't contain his astonishment upon confirmation call of his win by a lotto official.
“I can’t believe it!” he exclaimed.
“I didn’t sleep at all last night. I checked my ticket after the draw, around 11pm.
“I’ve looked at it about 100 times.
“It’s unbelievable!"....
The lucky man, who usually plays online, decided to purchase his ticket from Brighton-Le-Sands Newsagency upon his wife's suggestion.
“I normally play online, but I’ve had some wins from tickets I got from Brighton-Le-Sands Newsagency.
“So, my wife said, ‘you need to go there and get a ticket from there for tonight’s Megadaw’.
“As soon as I checked it, I couldn’t believe it!"
The newfound fortune has the man eagerly planning his future.
“It’s a huge win for my family. I’m going to buy our first house and maybe I can finally have a break and enjoy an overseas holiday.”
The winning man purchased his entry at Brighton-Le-Sands Newsagency, Shop 3, 252-269 Bay Street, Brighton-Le-Sands.
Brighton-Le-Sands Newsagency owner Helen Wang said she was thrilled to see another Megadraw division one win land at her outlet.
“You know, last year in the same December Megadraw we sold a division one winning central syndicate ticket. So, it’s exciting to have another one. We’ve sold about 24 division one wins over the years,” she said.
“We wish our latest winner a very happy new year and 2024!”
