A simple birthday gift from mum made this bloke $730K richer—find out how!

As the saying goes: ‘When it rains, it pours.’
It was just another birthday for one bloke, until he checked his lotto numbers… and saw his life transform before his eyes.
Just a couple of days before, his mum gave him a simple gift: a lotto ticket.
Little did he know that he would go on to possess one out of the seven winning entries in the most recent Saturday X Lotto draw!
As a result, the Whyalla Norrie, South Australia resident is now $730,000 richer.
As anyone else in his position would be, the man was stuck in disbelief. After all, the odds of winning in lotteries are astronomical, and it’s hard to believe the stars would align in such a way for him to win.
His disbelief had extended to the point that according to officials from the Lott, the man had waited until he received the money in his account before getting too excited.
'I rang her yesterday ... and she didn’t believe me at all,' the man said about his mum.
'I said to her, “Mum! It’s confirmed!” Then she called me back and read all the numbers out one by one with hesitation.'
'Once she read out all the winning numbers that were on my ticket, it hit her that I’d won $730,000.'
The man said he plans to use the winning prize to help his mum, who he fondly described as his ‘heartbeat’.
'She’s everything to me,' he said.
'I wouldn’t have had a great birthday if it wasn’t for her, so I look forward to giving back to her.'
The winning ticket was purchased from George Avenue Deli, and the owner shared that they had sold several major winning entries in the past two years.
'We’re so happy to hear we had sold another division one-winning entry in Saturday X Lotto,' the owner said.
'There’s no doubt the local community will be happy to hear another Whyalla Norrie customer has won big with a ticket purchased at our outlet.'
In similar news, one lucky retiree’s dream of winning the lottery recently became a reality.
But instead of blowing it all on a big holiday or a luxury car, his first purchase after landing $100,000 in the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot was something that got our hearts at SDC warmed and filled with delight.
The pensioner hailing from Kirribilli, located on Sydney's Lower North Shore, scored the first prize in the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw announced on October 3rd.
On top of that, this lucky chap netted an extra $2,000 worth of 'consolation prizes', bringing his total winnings to an impressive $102,000.
