A man from Sandringham got the surprise of a lifetime while camping earlier this month, when he found out that he was $3 million richer.

Clint Harvey says he decided to check his Lotto 6/49 ticket while boiling the kettle for his morning coffee. When the numbers lined up, and after checking a few extra times, he woke up his daughter to revel in the good news.

He plans to use the prize money to take care of his family, buy a new vehicle and new home, and spend more time travelling.

Meanwhile, there was no winning ticket sold for Tuesday’s $55 million Lotto Max jackpot.

The four Maxmillion prizes of $1 million also went unclaimed.

The jackpot for the next draw on July 2 will be at an estimated $60 million, with six Maxmillion prizes of $1 million each up for grabs.
