A man revealed his unusual job by calling lottery winners and telling them that they had won the first prize and jumped into a millionaire.
Matt Hart (Matt Hart), who works for The Lott, Australia's largest lottery operator, calls hundreds of people every year to inform them that they have finally won the top prize.
The man from Brisbane told ABC News, he liked to call others to tell them the good news, but admitted that he still felt anxious before each call.
"when I call someone, I get nervous, and I want them to believe it and accept it," he said.
Every time a small soundproof lottery station in Brisbane opens, Hart says, he calls the lucky winner immediately.
The lottery station is similar to the Tardis in Doctor Mystic, but, as Hart explains, it is important because you never know how you will hear the other person react.
Some people screamed frantically and others were dumbfounded with shock. Some people really yell very loudly. "
For him, the hardest part of the job was persuading people that they had really won the first prize and had become millionaires.
He's dealing with Craig from ABC Radio's Brisbane division? Zonka, (Craig Zonca) and Rebecca? "I remember the first call I made and the other party didn't buy the bill," Levinston (Rebecca Levingston) said. "he said if I called him again, he called the police and hung up on me."
"people tell us they're not lucky people, they can't be them, they think it's a hoax.
Sometimes we have to have them check the lottery tickets and come back to us, "he said."
Although Hart made more than 700 phone calls to the winners, the odds were that Australians were only 1-1, 300, 000.
Hart said the biggest prize he had notified was $50 million, and when the man finally responded, he said he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
In another interview with VICE, Hart said that as a evangelist, he can sometimes be sensitive.
"you feel like a mix of Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny," he said.
"We have a little idea of their lives-it's a very touching thing for a lot of people, and we hear their hopes and dreams, and they keep dreaming of what they can do with millions of dollars of money."
While most people told Hart that they would save the money, he said he had heard a lot of unusual ideas about how to spend the windfall, such as buying a new pair of shoes and cutting a new haircut.
"when people know they win, one of the most common things they say to me is that they want to pay off the mortgage," he told ABC News.
"there was a winner who told me that they were quitting their jobs to become Buddhism monks," he added.
