Newcastle man locks in $1.8 million lottery win

A NEWCASTLE man says he's barely slept after a $1.8 million lottery win landed in Saturday's draw.

Purchased at Greenhills Newsagency in East Maitland, the winner said he was looking at new cars, renovations and a new TV with his windfall.

The ticket was one of three division one winners in Saturday's draw, with each one earning $1,845,890.33.

"I haven't slept all that much since I discovered the win," the man told lottery officials.

"There's just so many thoughts running through my head.

"To be honest, I was expecting to win a lot less than I have. I'm in complete shock.

"I can't decide. There are so many things I could do with this."

Greenhills Newsagency owner Allen Kavanagh said the feeling of selling a winning ticket never got old.

"It's always an incredible feeling to know we've played a part in changing someone's life," he said.

"We're all over the moon for our customer and wish them all the best.

"I hope they celebrate this incredible win and have a fantastic time spending their prize."

The winning numbers were 9, 4, 42, 10, 29 and 1 with supplementaries 17 and 7.
