Only moments before a Kempsey man was about to check his Saturday Lotto ticket yesterday, he answered a call from lottery officials confirming his entry had scored him $5 million.
The Mid North Coast resident held one of the four division one winning entries across Australia in Saturday Lotto draw 4285 on Saturday 13 August 2022. Each division one winning entry pocketed a $5 million prize.
“Oh, man! I could hug you!” the man exclaimed when his new multi-millionaire status was confirmed.
“You won’t believe what I was about to do. I was going to get myself a drink, sit down, and check my Lotto ticket.
“I can’t believe I’ve pulled it off! Every time there’s a big draw, I grab a ticket and use family birthdates and special numbers.
“I’m over the moon! “I can pay the house off! It’s terrific. I also need a new car as my current one is past its used-by date.
