OzLotto winner comes forward to claim $15million prize and reveals what he will do with the money
A man from Bathurst has revealed his big plans after winning $15million in last week’s Oz Lotto draw.
The New South Wales man held the only division one winning entry in Oz Lotto draw 1597 on Tuesday and takes home the entire $15 million jackpot.
The winning entry was unregistered, meaning officials from The Lott had to wait for the mystery ticketholder to come forward to claim his prize.
‘When I checked my ticket, I thought I was going to have a heart attack,’ the man said.
‘I seriously didn’t know what to do at that moment. All I remember was that my spine was tingling.’
