Woden man claims $200k lottery win

Just weeks after winning almost $150,000, a Woden man has struck gold again after discovering he had won more than $200,000 in yesterday’s lottery draw.

The ACT resident won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $200,000 on Monday 23 October. In addition to his prize, the winning man’s entry also scored two consolation prizes of $1,000, bolstering his total to $202,000.

The windfall comes after he also scored a syndicate share worth $147,491.96 on Saturday 30 September.

The gleeful man said he was in disbelief and couldn’t comprehend his second major windfall.

“Oh my god! Thank you!” he gasped.

“This is crazy. Just last month I won a division one syndicate share in Saturday Lotto.

“I can’t believe this. What a shock!

“I’ve been playing for more than 18 years with no luck and now suddenly, I get two wins in less than a month.

“What a memorable day!”

The winning man revealed he had a couple of generous plans in mind for what he’d like to do with his newfound treasure.

“For my division one syndicate win, I gave it all to my wife,” he shared.

“I think with this prize, I’ll put some away for my children’s education.

“Then I’ll donate some and put the rest towards a holiday for my family.”
