A Norah Head man on holiday in Fiji had his spending money boosted by $100,000 after winning a recent Lucky Lotteries draw.
He said he’d seen multiple missed calls coming from an Australian number while he was sitting back and relaxing on his Fijian vacation but was completely oblivious to his newfound treasure.
“You’re joking” he laughed, when he finally answered a call from an official from The Lott confirming his prize.
“I’m in Fiji on holiday right now,” he said.
“I’ve been sitting on the beach all afternoon and noticed my phone kept buzzing.
“We haven’t been on our phones much this trip, so I thought it was odd.
“When I saw you’d called a few times, I knew it must be something important but I had no idea it would be The Lott trying to call me.
“I’m absolutely stoked right now – my wife and I are looking out at the sunset and grinning cheek to cheek.”
They won first prize in the Super Jackpot 10878 drawn on September 27.
