‘I’m driving right now, oh my god I need to pull over’, he responded. 

The Bondi resident told The Lot he had recently been made redundant, so the millions couldn’t have come at a better time. 

‘I’m going to get a bottle of fancy champagne to celebrate, I can’t wait to break the news to my wife’, he said.

‘Basically, this will be used for my retirement now. I had been looking to get another job but now I don’t need to. 

‘When the borders open up, I would love to do some international travel. And there will most likely be a new car, a boat and some fishing trips too.’

The Bondi man held the only winning entry in the Set for Life draw 2056 and won with the numbers  8, 1, 20, 12, 4, 22 and 18 with supplementary numbers 37 and 14.
