A ROUTINE day in the garden suddenly sprouted into a $1.1 million celebration for a Port Macquarie man after a sudden feeling of fortune prompted a spontaneous Saturday Lotto purchase.
“The funny thing is, I don’t play every week,” the anonymous winner said.
“But I was walking past and thought, ‘I’m feeling lucky today!’.
“I was doing some yard work when my wife said there was an email about a major prize.
“When we checked, we saw six numbers staring at us.”
His 36-game QuickPick was purchased from Settlement City Newsagency and Post.
The local winner was one of nine division one winning entries nationally.
