A man from a small country town has come forward to claim his $50million OzLotto prize.
The man from Burra, 160km north of Adelaide, which has a population of just 1,100 people revealed his working days would be over after taking out the jackpot.
‘Oh my god. I can’t believe it. I was just saying to myself this morning, $50,000 would be alright heading into Christmas but $50 million.
‘I didn’t even know the Oz Lotto jackpot had been won and there was a winner. I just came in to check my ticket.
When asked how he might best enjoy his Oz Lotto bounty, the stunned winner confessed he was too overwhelmed to make any firm plans.
‘I don’t think I’ll work again. I think my workdays are done,’ he said.
‘This does absolutely everything for me. Absolutely everything,’ he said. ‘I’ll treat myself and help my family.’
The man’s winning entry was purchased at Burra Terry White Chemmart Pharmacy.
‘I’m so stoked for our winner and wish him all the very best with his prize,’ retail manager Kelly Bray said.
