A Queanbeyan man is eager to upgrade to a new set of wheels after the revelation he won $200,000 a Lotto draw last week.

“Exciting stuff, mate!” the man exclaimed after he’d whistled in surprise.

“It’s all a bit surreal.

“I’ve been playing Lucky Lotteries for a long time – probably about 30 years. Normally I just get a ticket each week.

“On the weekend, I went to check my ticket. I’d just had it in my wallet and I had no idea!

“I’m still in a bit of a haze.

“It feels good to win! This will come in very, very handy.

“I’m about due to get a new car so that will help me do that and pay off a few bills.”

The man’s winning ticket was purchased at the Karabar Newsagency.
