Oz Lotto windfall the secret to a good night’s sleep 

A Tullamarine man who believed he initially won $1 million in Oz Lotto received the surprise of his life after discovering a delightful $20 million was actually coming his way. 

Once the victorious Victorian processed his multi-million-dollar win he immediately went back to bed!

“I thought I’d won one million dollars, not twenty million dollars! I assumed multiple people won the prize, not just me! I never thought I’d become an overnight multi-millionaire!” he explained.

“Once I get off the phone with you, I will go back to bed and have a nice sleep in. But then I’ll call my family and share the news with them, and I’m sure they’ll want to do something!”
Bon Voyage! Overseas odyssey on the cards!

The Melburnian takes home $4.8 million paid in instalments of $20,000 a month for 20 years. 

“Oh gosh! Is this real? I can’t believe this. I don’t believe you! I’m an essential worker, so the past two years have been crazy busy during the pandemic. I can’t wrap my head around this,” he cheered.

“The first thing I’m going to do is travel. I’ve been working hard for a long time, and I’d love to put my feet up and relax. Southeast Asia is on the top of my travel list! This is a dream.”
