MAN SCOOPS ₤ 680,000 LOTTO JACKPOT BUT NEARLY MISSES OUT ON PRIZE AFTER THINKING WIN WAS HOAX AS WIFE DIDNT BELIEVE HIM
The lucky winner, from Darwin, nearly didnt gather the cash after being left in overall disbelief when he saw all six of his numbers on the lottery game app.
” Usually, I get an e-mail directly after the draw that tells me how close I am to winning division one,” the winner informed Daily Mail Australia.
” But this time, I didnt, so when I got up on Sunday early morning, I logged into The Lott app and I saw I had all 6 numbers.
” I thought well, thats odd and then I saw the prize amount, and I believed it should be some type of scam.”
He was among 5 winning entries in the TattsLotto draw with each person taking home ₤ 680,000 ($1,304,946.92).
The male, who wanted to stay confidential, said it took a while for him to think that he had actually scooped the massive prize.
