He said he had yet to make firm plans but it would “open up new opportunities’’ for him and his family.

“This is still pretty surreal and fresh. I don’t even know how to feel,’’ he said.

“I’ve been playing these numbers for years now and just constantly roll my entry over.

“It’s won little prizes here and there, but I just about collapsed when I realised I’d won the 10 Spot. What do I do now?

“I haven’t been able to fathom what $2 million will mean for my future and my family, but it can only be good news.

“It’s just going to open up some amazing avenues for my family.’’
