A 52yr old man has transformed a single $4.75 Italian Super Jackpot entry into an incredible $34,091.60 prize, proving that sometimes all it takes is one game and a little inspiration.
TV Inspiration Leads to Big Win
Currently taking a break from work while recovering from an injury, the lucky winner decided to play just one game using a set of numbers he had heard during an episode of the classic science fiction television series Stargate.
Those numbers were 7, 8, 10, 47, 49 and 61 coming remarkably close to landing the game's top prize.
The official winning numbers were 6, 7, 10, 47, 49 and 61 (with jolly number 5) meaning he missed the jackpot by just one number! Despite the near miss, his ticket still secured an impressive $34,091win.
The winner said he was stunned when he realised his win, telling The Lottery Office,
"I couldn't believe what I was watching!"
What began as a simple $4.75 purchase quickly turned into a lucky windfall, showing that inspiration can come from the most unexpected places.
Winnings Will Help During Recovery
With time away from work due to his injury, the unexpected win couldn't have arrived at a better moment.
The 52yr old said he’ll use the prize money to pay household bills before finally getting started on long awaited home renovations.
Customer Support Shares the Excitement
The Lottery Office Customer Support Manager, Rachel Lane, said it was a pleasure delivering the fantastic news.
"It's always exciting to speak with winners, especially when a single $4.75 game turns into a $34,000 prize. We were thrilled to celebrate this incredible win with him and wish him all the very best with his recovery and home renovation plans."
One Number Away from an Even Bigger Prize
Missing the jackpot by just one number is enough to make anyone wonder "what if?", but this winner is focusing on the positives.
