But, on this day, it is the rare occurrence of this event taking place. A man in Sydney woke up with $96 million more than he went to sleep with as a result of a single lucky ticket that he bought the night before, which landed him the second-largest single prize in the history of the Australian lottery.
The man, who shall remain nameless in this article, was from Sydney, Lower North Shore, won the lottery jackpot for the 1447th draw of the Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw. The man, who has spent most of his life working in an office and hunting many different jackpots, received the news when he was working at his office. Receiving the news left him stunned, excited and considering all of the years he spent playing the lottery and casino games, hoping to get himself a jackpot. He says that up to that point he has played hundreds of real money pokies, bought numerous tickets and used every other tool possible in order to be able to win the jackpot.
Some of the words that he uttered after hearing the news were referencing God, Jesus, divinity, excrement, and the fact that the man was not expecting this type of call at work, at all. He thought, for a long time, that this was nothing but a practical joke. According to him, it is difficult to process news like this.
The man, when questioned about how he felt about the news, said that he was unsure how to describe the feeling, but he was sure that whoever he was about to tell about the victory was going to be extremely excited. He was thinking of his family and how their lives were going to be different starting from then on. The man, after considering some of his options, said that he was intending to quit his job.
