Last month, a Melbourne father who lost his job during lockdown snared the $80 million Powerball jackpot.
‘I lost my job during one of the many lockdowns here in Melbourne. We had only just bought a home and didn’t see it coming,’ he said.
‘I’ve been working as a cleaner ever since to make ends meet. Like for so many people, these lockdowns have been really tough for our family.
‘But I’ve always said, you’ve just gotta keep trying. Now, look what’s happened. It is absolutely unbelievable.’
Despite his life changing financial windfall, the man stated he just wanted to make life better for his family.
‘I am certainly keen to pay off the mortgage and the other bills we have to begin with,’ he said.
‘We’re going to set our kids up for life. That will be an incredible thing to be able to do. There’s so much we will be able to do with this prize. It will change so many people’s lives!’
