How a Victorian man became $75,000 richer overnight thanks to an Oz Lotteries Daily Winners win

“This is a joke, isn’t it? You’re pulling my leg.”

Clearly Mark* didn’t believe the news when he was told by lottery officials he was suddenly $75,000 richer.

The Victorian man created an account with Oz Lotteries when purchasing a ticket for the Powerball last week, signing up to its free Daily Winners program at the same time.

The program gives players the chance to win every day — with $500 draws every day, a $2500 draw every Friday and a monthly draw worth $75,000.

“Nothing ever like this has ever happened to me,” Mark told Oz Lotteries officials when they called him to break the good news.

He told them he planned to spend his winnings renovating his house, paying off debt and hopefully buying a new car.

“It does a lot,” he said.

“It means absolutely f****** everything. It pulls me out of a lot of s***.”

After receiving the news, Mark said the first person he’d share the good news with would be his mum.

The first month of the Daily Winners program gave away over $97,000 to 30 lucky players.

October’s monthly draw will give away another $75,000 cash, plus an additional $10,000 Halloween themed draw.
