NSW Man Becomes $10,655 European Jackpot Winner in Sweet Weekend Surprise

Sometimes the best surprises come when you least expect them. Just ask this lucky 61-year-old winner from NSW, who had no idea he’d struck it big in the European Jackpot until he received a phone call that would make his weekend unforgettable.

A Call That Changed Everything

Our newest winner hadn’t even checked his Lottery Office account when Rachel, Head of Customer Support, delivered the exciting news. His reaction? Pure excitement mixed with plans that would warm anyone’s heart.

“I will take my wife for dinner tonight. She’s on crutches, she just got some pins and screws taken out of her ankle, so it’s my shout this one haha!” he joked, proving that true winners always think of their loved ones first.

So Close, Yet So Rewarding

The winning numbers in Saturday’s European Jackpot draw were 4, 14, 26, 29, 50 with euro numbers 3 and 12. Our winner held an almost identical ticket: 3, 14, 26, 29, 50 with euro numbers 3 and 12 – Just one number off! Though being this close might frustrate some players, this winner saw the silver lining – a substantial Division 4 prize of $10,655.

Dreams of Relaxation Ahead

With his newfound fortune, this winner has bigger plans brewing beyond that celebratory dinner. “Maybe go on a holiday with this money. Looking forward to slowing down a bit, and this money will make it a little more enjoyable,” he revealed.

At 61 years, this winner represents countless Australians approaching retirement who dream of taking life at a gentler pace so his European Jackpot win couldn’t have come at a better time.

The Sweet Taste of Victory

What makes this winner’s story particularly heartwarming is his immediate focus on family and relaxation rather than extravagant purchases. From supporting his recovering wife to planning peaceful getaways, his priorities reflect the values that can make lottery winners truly special.

This Division 4 winner proves that you don’t need to hit the jackpot to be a winner. Sometimes, $10,655 is exactly the amount needed to create precious memories and provide the comfort that money can buy.
