Adelaide retiree wakes up $5m richer after jackpot win
An Adelaide retiree has woken up as a multi-millionaire after taking home the $5 million jackpot prize in last night's lotto draw.
The regular player was the only division one winning entry nationally in Oz Lotto draw 1344.
"That's so incredible to hear. I can't believe it," the stunned winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, told a SA Lotteries official.
"I've been playing for a very long time, so I'm thrilled this day has finally arrived. This is going to really change my life."

The winning numbers in the 1344 draw were 21, 40, 8, 23, 5, 39 and 38. The supplementary numbers were 17 and 16.
This is the second Oz Lotto jackpot prize won by an Adelaide resident this year.
Thirty-seven south Australian lottery players have taken home the division one prize.
In the 12 months to June 30, 2019, there were 16 division one winning Oz Lotto entries across Australia, with a total $324 million won.
