Canberra Man Wins Division One Prize in Saturday Lotto, Plans to Buy a House

A Canberra man can’t think of a better early Christmas present than winning a division one prize in the weekend’s Saturday Lotto.

“I’m still just spinning out,” the man exclaimed when an official from The Lott called to confirm his prize yesterday morning.

“I only just discovered I’d won about an hour ago.

“It’s funny. I had two tickets… one of them won a smaller prize and I was stoked. And then I checked this one and I thought,

‘Holy sh**!

That can’t be right!’.

“I was fully spun out!

“You have no idea what this means to me. “It’s a pretty decent prize – I’m not going to lie.

“It will allow me to buy a house. This is the best way to start a new year!”

The man’s winning 12-game QuickPick was purchased online at thelott.com – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
