A single dad who purchased a Set for Life ticket will now be able to set up the life of his son thanks to a life-changing win.
The incredibly lucky Morayfield, Queensland, Australia, player scored the top prize from the popular game last week.
The winner's 25-game QuickPick entry was purchased via The Lott's official application as he entered Set for Life's draw 3876.
Surprisingly, he emerged as the winner of the game's last Tuesday drawing, hitting the top prize for a mind-blowing AU$20,000 ($14,100) per month for the next 20 years.
The winning numbers in Set for Life's draw 3876 were 31, 37, 25, 15, 27, 14 and 10, while the supplementary numbers were 35 and 3.
In total, the top prize from Set for Life translates to a whopping AU$4.8m ($3.38m), paid in monthly installments of AU$20,000 ($14,100) for two decades.
On that particular draw, there was a single division one winning entry, the one by the Morayfield, Queensland player.
Interestingly, The Lott contacted the fortunate winner and he wasn't aware of the big fortune has come his way.
"Oh frick! I won! Wow! You’re kidding! I don’t know what to say. I’m speechless," the winner exclaimed.
The fortunate player admitted that he was at work, adding: "I was not expecting this at all. I went to bed early last night so I didn’t even check my ticket."
The hard-working single dad recognized the lottery windfall as a true blessing, saying that he is incredibly happy and will use the prize to help his son set up his life.
"I already work two jobs and it’s all for him. He’s my world," the single dad from Morayfield explained.
Finally, the fortunate winner pointed out: "Wow. I’m so grateful. I’m a chill person but I’m pretty hyped right now. Thank you so much!"
The incredibly lucky man didn't share if he had other plans about his unexpected fortune.
Still, the top prize will undoubtedly change his wife and the life of his son.
