“God, I am on a lunch break right now at work. I am very seriously considering walking out of the door right now and never coming back again. What the actual f***. I cannot believe this, wow.”

The man, who wants to remain anonymous, told the Lott representative it was “by far the best phone call I have ever received”.

He was overwhelmed with the possibilities, but was already planning a “huge list of things I want to do”.

“I want to buy a house. I have been wanting to buy one for years,” he said.

“I also want to start my own business. I want to be my own boss. I would love to do that. I can buy my dream car too.”

The man’s winning online lotto entry involved ten random numbers.

On Monday, another Coast man won $100,000 in the lottery.
