According to the Sydney Morning Herald, a man in Canberra has been buying lottery tickets for decades, winning a recent A $200000 prize. The shop where he bought tickets has sold 12 winning tickets in 13 years.
The man, who declined to be named, reportedly said he had been buying Lucky Lotteries lottery tickets for decades. But he was shocked to learn that he had won the prize, and even doubted that he had won the prize. He couldn't sleep on Monday night.
On Tuesday morning, at work, he was notified by the authorities that he had won the A $ two hundred thousand award. In addition, he also won A $1000 encouragement Award.
The man said he plans to renovate his property with a small bonus, and save the rest to stay in retirement.
It is understood that the man's winning lottery tickets were bought at Gan Jia Lin's (Gungahlin) store, Penney's Paper Shop. The store has sold 12 winning tickets for 13 years, almost one a year.
Penny (James Penne), owner of the store, said it was a good record for the store, and he was pleased with the recent winner.
