‘Holy sh*t’: Man daydreaming about Lotto win receives call he’d won $60m

A man received news he’d won $60m while he was in the middle of daydreaming about how life-changing a lottery win would be.

The father from Bribie Island in Queensland’s Moreton Bay region was in bed when he got the incredible call following Thursday’s 2449 Powerball draw.

“No way. It’s after 9pm but this calls for a bottle of champagne!” the man told Lott officials.

“Is that real? I can’t stop laughing. Holy sh*t! I’ve won $6m!”

The only division one winner of Thursday’s draw said he’d been daydreaming when he received the call.

“No joke, I was just drifting off to sleep dreaming about what it would be like to win the lotto – all the things I could do,” he said.

However, the man nearly missed out on the draw entirely, having nearly forgotten to buy a ticket after becoming distracted.

“This is really strange but a few months back, I had a vivid dream that I had gone into a lottery draw with a mate, and that our entry had won $40m,” he said.

“Ever since then, our friend has bought a ticket when the draw is over $40m.

“I’ve been playing these numbers for 10 or 15 years. Funnily enough, I don’t always play them, sometimes I switch it up but luckily, I used them tonight!

He said the money will allow him to “help a lot of people”.

“I’ve got kids that I can help and plenty of friends doing it tough,” he said.

“My mum also used to have this vintage car that she loved to bits. She had to sell it one day and she cried all the way home.

“I think I’m going to keep the tradition going by buying the same model again. It’s something that I’ve always wanted to do!

“What an exciting night! How are we going to sleep now? We might call one of our children tonight and ask what colour chevy they want.

“Thank you so much.”

The winning ticket was purchased on The Lott app, with winning numbers 20, 23, 34, 19, 24, 31, and 10.

The Powerball number was 14.
