“Oh my god. Really?” she questioned.
“I’m in shock. What a surprise. We’ve had a bad start to this week. We’ve gotten sick and won’t be able to see family for Christmas, so this has really lifted our spirits.
“We’ll have to make some phone calls today!”
Bulleen man’s long-time numbers unwrap win
A Bulleen man’s Christmas wishes came true when the lottery numbers he's treasured for 25 years unwrapped a $1 million Weekday Windfall prize. Feeling extra festive, the family man shared he would buy his mum a home with his winnings.
“I actually didn’t know for quite some time!” he laughed.
“The storeteam member then said I couldn’t use the winnings because he couldn’t pay out the prize in-store.
“He then showed me the winning numbers from the draw, and I saw all of the six numbers that I’ve been playing for 25 years show up.
“You wouldn’t believe it, though – I was so close to changing the numbers, but I thought I’d wait until 2025 to change them.
“I guess the universe heard me.”
