- He took home $20 million
A hard-working Melbourne father found out he was the only winner of a $20 million lotto jackpot after finishing his night shift.
The Dad was the only Division 1 winner in Oz Lotto draw 1530, drawn on Tuesday.
“I’m still shaking,” he told an official at The Lott, confirming his new fortune.
“I found out this morning at 3 a.m. after my shift. I found out when I went to buy a ticket to Powerball’s $60 million drawing for tomorrow night. It was such a shock.
“I don’t have to worry about tomorrow night’s drawing, I’ve got $20 million!”
The father said he has been buying lottery tickets regularly after night shifts for over 10 years.
“I always buy an Oz Lotto and Powerball ticket after my early morning shift. It’s a little treat for myself. I’ve been playing for over a decade.
“I’ve gathered my whole family around the phone now. My wife is happy, my daughter is very happy. It’s something I’ll remember for the rest of my life.”
