A Moruya fisherman can’t wait to cast a line off his new boat after becoming a millionaire in this week’s Monday & Wednesday Lotto draw.
The New South Welshman held one of the three division one winning entries in Monday & Wednesday Lotto draw 4384 on Monday 22 April 2024.
His total prize was $1,000,013.55.
The man revealed he’d been replaying the same numbers for years, believing they would one day be drawn.
His winning 50-game QuickPick was purchased at Polly’s Newsagency, 42 Vulcan Street, Moruya.
“I checked the ticket earlier this morning! I can’t believe it,” he exclaimed when speaking with an official from The Lott.
“I haven’t had time to stop and think about it yet, but mate, that will come in handy,” he said excitedly.
“I play regularly, and I’ve been replaying the same numbers for years.
“I originally got this QuickPick about 10 years ago, and I’ve just stuck to them. I always tell my mates, never change your numbers!
“This does a lot for me at this point in time.
“I’m a keen fisherman so this means a new boat for sure!
“I’ve also got kids and grandkids so I’d like to share with them somewhere along the line.
“But first up is a new boat!”
The winning numbers were 34, 8, 14, 6, 25 and 4, while the supplementary numbers were 7 and 37.
Across Australia, there were three division one winning entries in Monday & Wednesday Lotto draw 4384 – all from New South Wales.
The Lott’s division one winning tally has now reached 342 so far in FY24, including 117 won by NSW Lotteries customers.
