A Newcastle man wins $1.25 million in Lotto, his second major prize this summer, after a $100K raffle win.

A Newcastle father has won $1.25 million in the Lotto, following a $100,000 Christmas raffle win, making it his second major prize this summer. He was one of two Division 1 winners in the Hunter region and initially doubted the Lotto win due to a $53 account balance. The raffle win came after buying a new TV that auto-entered him into a draw. He plans to use the winnings to send his daughter to her preferred school and take his family on a trip to Japan. The Lott is still searching for the owner of an unregistered $1.2 million winning ticket sold in the area.
