An Oatlands resident has had an unforgettable start to the week, discovering he’s suddenly a millionaire after taking home division one in the weekend’s Saturday Lotto draw.
The player held one of the six division one winning entries across Australia in Saturday Lotto draw 4191 on September 18, each division one winning entry won a prize of $1,048,320.62.
The Oatlands man claims he always knew he’d win the lottery one day and is now revelling in the arrival of that highly anticipated winning moment.
Sharing his excitement with an official from The Lott, the winner admitted he was excited, but not shocked, when he checked his winning entry.
“It’s amazing, this will help us so much,” he said.
“This is a great feeling.
“I’ve always sensed that I would win one day and now that day is here and it is incredible.
“I am going to pay off the mortgage, build a new house and go on a holiday!”
He picked up his marked System 7 entry at Oatlands Pharmacy, 42 Belmore Street East, Oatlands.
