The man told NSW Lotteries he was shocked at his new fortune, thanks to a ticket he purchased at Broadarrow Newsagency, Narwee.
“It’s crazy – it’s a lot of money to win,” he said.
“This morning I heard the winner was from the Bankstown area and they hadn’t found them yet. I usually only check my tickets every few weeks.
“So I got my son to check the numbers for me online…I’m guarding this ticket with my life.”
The regular Lotto player said he his wife worked hard all their lives to raise their family. He plans on retiring early and setting his family up for the future.
