A millionaire overnight

A Dandenong man won $1 million in the Monday 13 June Lotto draw.
“Shut up! Holy moly! I’m really trying not to swear right now!” the shocked Division 1 winner shouted when a Tatts official called him the following day.
“I don’t know what to do! Should I fall on the floor? I mean – I just became a millionaire!
The man, who wants to remain anonymous, said the win provided the opportunity for a sea-change.
“There are just so many life choices possible now; it’s unfathomable. This will be life-changing,” he said.
“Lately, I’ve been sitting out on my deck looking up at the stars thinking ‘when are you going to align?’”
“For a long time, I have fantasised about what I would do if I won the Lotto – now all of my dreams are about to come to fruition.
“My home is long overdue for a renovation makeover and I’ll also take a well-deserved trip overseas.”
The winner, who works at a public school in Victoria, bought his 50-game Internet Combination Monday Lotto entry via thelott.com.
He was among two Division 1-winning entrants with the numbers 10, 30, 12, 42, 18 and 37 and supplementary numbers 29 and 16.
