A Bathurst man has revealed his big plans after winning $15 million in last week’s Oz Lotto draw.
The New South Wales man claimed the only division one winning entry in Oz Lotto draw 1597 on Tuesday and takes home the full $15 million jackpot.
The winning entry was unregistered, meaning officials at The Lott had to wait for the mysterious ticket holder to show up to claim their prize.
“When I checked my ticket, I thought I was going to have a heart attack,” the man said.
‘I seriously didn’t know what to do at that moment. The only thing I remember is that my spine was tingling.

“It’s great to know I’ll be able to help my family,” he said. “The only thing I care about doing is taking care of my family and making sure they are happy and healthy.
