OzLotto winner comes forward to claim $15million prize and reveals what he will do with the money
A Bathurst man has revealed his big plans after winning $15 million in last week’s Oz Lotto draw.
The New South Wales man had the only division one winning entry in the Oz Lotto draw 1597 on Tuesday and takes home the entire $15 million jackpot.
The winning entry was not registered, meaning The Lott officials had to wait for the mysterious ticket holder to come forward to claim his prize.
“When I checked my ticket I thought I was going to have a heart attack,” the man said.
‘I seriously didn’t know what to do at that moment. All I remember is my spine tingling.’
