A Cairnlea couple’s school drop-off on Wednesday was far from ordinary after they received a phone call from lottery officials revealing their remarkable $20 million division one win in Oz Lotto.
The couple were the only division one winners in Tuesday night’s draw, taking home the total prize of $20,000,000.
The couple confessed they were too mind-boggled by the morning’s multi-million-dollar revelation to make any immediate plans.
“Wow! That’s cool.” the winning man laughed when The Lott reached out to him to tell him about his win.
“It hasn’t sunk in. It doesn’t feel real.
“I was doing a school drop-off this morning when you initially called. I had no idea we’d won $20 million.
“I put an entry on for Oz Lotto, Powerball and TattsLotto every week. We’re glad we persisted.
“There won’t be much celebrating today because I’m still going to work. It will be hard to concentrate.”
When asked how they planned to enjoy $20 million, the Melburnians confessed they were too mind-boggled by the morning’s multi-million-dollar revelation to make any immediate plans.
The winning ticket was purchased at Cairnlea News and Lotto at Cairnlea Shopping Centre.
Cairnlea News and Lotto owner Kevin Thai said he couldn’t believe his team had sold a division one winning entry.
“Our entire team is super excited and over-the-moon to have sold a division one winning entry,’ he said. “I was actually asleep when we were notified about the news, and it woke me up instantly.
