A Wallan man has confessed he has struggled to catch a wink of sleep since discovering he won $143,628.80 in a Super 66 draw.

He held the only division one-winning entry in Super 66 draw 4369 on June 3.

When an official from The Lott called to confirm the winning news, the man said when he first saw the results in the app, he thought the numbers were the wrong colour.

“I had to get my partner to double check. When she confirmed I wasn’t seeing things, that next thought was $143,000?! That’s grouse,” he said.

“I’ve been playing Super 66 since I saw the jackpot climb. I thought maybe I’d have a better shot at that, and I did!

“We’re going to finalise some payments, say goodbye to interest rates and take our family on a holiday.”
