“At first, I thought I was seeing things, but then I kept checking my ticket.
“I cannot believe it. It’s just a random QuickPick.
“Every time I play, I just select random numbers.”
The father was ecstatic as he would now be able to enter the property market.
“I’m a little bit excited! This will get us into our own home – our first home,” he said.
“The original plan today was to go to the park and spend time with my wife and daughter. But now I think I need to calm down!
“This is very good news!”
