'I thought it was spam': Aussie wins massive windfall of prize while on holiday
- Replies 4
Everyone dreams about receiving a huge sum of money.
A massive windfall of cash could go directly to retirement funds for lovely seniors to enjoy during their golden years.
One man had the honour of winning a massive prize while on holiday, making his getaway a much sweeter experience.
A Darwin local was in the middle of his holiday break when his phone went abuzz with multiple calls and texts from The Lott.
'I looked at the text message and immediately thought it was spam,' he recalled.
What he initially dismissed as pesky scam attempts turned out to be a life-changing call.
Lottery officials wanted to inform him that he had won $1.2 million in the TattsLotto draw.
'I had the trip from hell getting to my holiday destination, and I was not in the mood to let anything else spoil my holiday,' the man, who remained anonymous, shared.
'I almost didn't let it phase me, but I logged into my online account with The Lott, and I checked my ticket. That's when I saw I had won $1.2 million!'
His six winning numbers were 30, 39, 6, 36, 5, and 43, with supplementary numbers 45 and 17.
'Let's just say there was some explicit language here and there. Some colourful language I won't repeat,' the man said in jest after becoming a millionaire.
The man's win was one of four division one winning entries across Australia last Saturday, 9 November.
Despite the initial disbelief, the man already made plans for his newfound wealth.
'Once my holiday is finished, I'll pay my son a visit,' he shared. 'I might not be home for a month!'
The man bought the winning ticket online on The Lott's website, a convenient choice for many players who prefer to avoid long queues.
This story should be a reminder that sometimes, what we dismiss as a nuisance could be a call to fortune.
It also highlighted the importance of checking your lottery tickets, even when you least expect it.
This tale is a delightful nudge to keep an eye on those unexpected notifications.
You never know when Lady Luck might be trying to reach you.
