“I play the same numbers each week – they’re my lucky numbers, but I can’t even think why I picked them all those years ago.

“I just always thought I would (win), so that’s why I kept playing the same numbers.”

The man held one of four division one winning entries nationally in Saturday’s Lotto draw, plus a System 9 entry which scored division three 18 times, division four 45 times and division six 20 times, bolstering his total prize to $1,271,613.09.
