Sharing his joy with a Tatts official to confirm the life-changing news, the exuberant winner couldn\u2019t contain his joy at his good fortune.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is amazing! I can\u2019t believe it!\u201d he exclaimed. \u201cWhen I logged in and saw that I had won I thought there must have been something wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re so excited we don\u2019t know what to do, to be honest!\u201d the newly-minted millionaire said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn Sunday morning I checked my phone and there was an email there saying I\u2019d had a win.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d had a couple of small wins in the past so I didn\u2019t think too much of it.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt wasn\u2019t until a bit later that I realised the email was in a much larger font than normal, so I thought \u2018I\u2019d better go and check that again\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
