The man's System 7 entry also won division three six times, bolstering his total prize to $1,004,327.
"This phone call has cemented it! I wanted to make sure I wasn't dreaming!" the man said when an official from The Lott called to confirm his prize.
"I've been up for a few hours now. I checked this ticket around 4.30am this morning. I didn't check it last night before I went to bed. When I saw it, I had to rub my eyes a few times. I've checked the ticket at least half a dozen times and I even took a screenshot.
"I've been playing for decades and using these numbers for about 10 years. They're favourite numbers of mine and they've come through for me.
"I'm speechless! I'm a little emotional. It's come at divine timing. This means a whole new chapter for me. This will be the springboard to something new for the rest of my life. It's beautiful. It's freedom."
