“Thank you very much.
“It’s very nice.
“Yesterday, I went down to the newsagency to check the ticket and the man working there told me I could be the winner they’d been looking for.
“I thought he was joking, but it turned out that he was right.
“I couldn’t believe it.
“I had to go back again this morning and check it again just to be sure.
“It was very exciting,” he said.
When asked how he planned to enjoy his $100,000 fortune, the winner knew exactly what he’d be doing.
