A Melbourne man struggled to hold back tears after he won $15 million in Oz Lotto.
He held one of the two division one winning entries in Oz Lotto draw 1594, drawn Tuesday.
The man checked his ticket early Wednesday morning and chose to go to work to help distract himself from the overwhelming excitement of his win.
‘I can’t believe it. I woke up, scanned the ticket online, and then just went to work, but it’s all I could think about,’ he said.
With $15 million about to change his whole world, the newly-minted multi-millionaire said he would treat himself to the lifetime trip in Europe.
‘I’ll go on a holiday… somewhere in Europe,’ he revealed. ‘It’s life-changing.’
His division one winning entry was purchased at Seraglio Lotto, in South Melbourne.
Seraglio Lotto owner Amelia Lay said she couldn’t believe her outlet had sold a division one winning ticket worth $15 million.
‘At Seraglio Lotto, we love to make dreams come true, and we did it all over again on Tuesday night in Oz Lotto,’ she said.
‘Our customers and local community are over the moon for the winner, and we can’t believe we were one of the two outlets that had sold a division one winning entry nationally.
‘We can’t wait to hopefully do it all again soon and continue to make our customers newly minted millionaires.’
The winning numbers were 43, 35, 9, 38, 32, 8 and 3, while the supplementary numbers were 33, 22 and 46.
