The man said the winnings would allow him to retire much earlier than previously planned and would set his daughter up for the future.
"No way! "Ah really? Wow!" he told The Lott.
"Yeah, OK! I'm in a hell of a shock! I'm just so dumbfounded. I can't believe it. I'm supposed to go to work later tonight for a 12-hour shift but maybe I won't.
"My wife, daughter and I chose these numbers five years ago. I decided I would commit to purchasing regular TattsLotto tickets and asked them to choose six numbers.
"I've stuck with those numbers ever since."
