The Voice Australia winner Lachie Gill reveals how he plans to spend his $100K prize money

Lachie Gill was crowned the winner of The Voice Australia for 2022 during Sunday night’s grand finale episode.

And on Monday, the 24-year-old P.E. teacher revealed that he is planning to use the $100,000 cash prize to purchase a home or invest into his music career.

‘I’ll never be the person to buy jewellery or a car. I’ll make sure it goes somewhere where it will benefit me for my future,’ Lachie told Daily Mail Australia.

 ‘[I’ll either] invest it into the music stuff or start looking at a house,’ he explained.

During Sunday’s grand finale episode, the former football player won the $100,000 prize money and a recording contract with Universal Music Australia.

He has also released his new single Wasted Time, which has over 100,000 views on YouTube.

After host Sonia Kruger delivered the verdict, the P.E. teacher said he was ‘blown away’.

‘Oh my God! From the start, I just never, ever would have expected this. I’m just blown away. Thank you so much. Wow. Thank you,’ Lachie exclaimed.

Lachie’s coach, British songstress Rita Ora, praised him for his talent and thanked Australia for their support.

‘You did all of this. Australia, thank you, thank you, I love you. I feel like this is just the beginning for you. Congratulations. I’m so happy for you I can’t breathe!’ she gushed.

From the very start, Rita was determined to get the talented Lachie on her team.

‘Lachie is in a league of his own; he’s the ultimate storyteller and has the ability to capture the audience and have them go along with him. He sings like it’s the last time, every time,’ she said.

Rita and Lachie performed Lady Gaga’s hit Always Remember Us This Way during the episode.

Proving to be a hit! He has also released his new single Wasted Time, which has over 100,000 views on YouTube
