The winning numbers were 10, 28, 5, 4, 9 and 36, and the supplementary numbers were 2 and 14.

The man found out he had won five days after the draw.

"It's a dizzying experience!" the man told The Lott after finding out he won.

"I always go to the same agency and play two tickets a week.

"But I just can't be bothered checking them straight away, so I usually only find out if I have a win when I go in the following week and collect $20 or $30.

"I went in today and asked them to check my ticket...the guy behind the counter said, 'Hang on, I've got good news for you'.
