A Sydney father has revealed the moment his lazy Sunday was flipped upside down after realising he had won a massive Lotto prize - admitting it was a “random” pick of the numbers.

The Sydneysider was enjoying the park with his young family, when he learned he had won the $2.4 million in the weekend’s Saturday Lotto Draw.

“I didn’t expect to win on such a small ticket,” he exclaimed when his win was confirmed.

“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.”

“This is very good news!”
