The Lott also revealed on Tuesday a NSW player from Revesby, southwest of Sydney, won $100,000 in the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot drawn on Wednesday last week.
He checked his ticket on his phone on Monday evening and was initially sceptical he had actually won.
“I thought it wasn’t right. I am used to winning small amounts, but this was insane. I thought, ‘What! No way, this can’t be real!’,” he told officials.
“I couldn’t sleep a wink last [Monday] night. I just kept rescanning my ticket. I was a bundle of nerves. I haven’t stopped shaking and I’ve almost fallen over so many times, I’m just so overwhelmed.
The man said he planned to spoil his mum with some of his winnings.
The win comes weeks after a lucky lotto player from Victoria scored $20 million in Oz Lotto.
A man from Brisbane’s also recently pocketed a $1 million Gold Lotto win after playing the same numbers for 20 years.
