He was the lucky winner of the guaranteed first prize of $100,000 in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10617, which was drawn on Tuesday.
When the call came though from officials from The Lott, he told them he would be "mind-boggled for the rest of the day".
"Wow, it's perfect," he said.
"I've always hoped for a day like this where I'd receive a phone call from The Lott.
"Things like this don't happen to me, so I'm stunned.
"I've been playing for many years - particularly in Lucky Lotteries draws and the big jackpotting games such as Powerball and Oz Lotto. I guess Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot is now my favourite."
The man plans to use his winnings to secure a new home.
"This has changed my life and has come at the most wonderful time. I've been looking at purchasing a property and I can't wait to put this prize towards it," he told The Lott.
His winning entry of one random number was purchased at News N More Bathurst, located in the Armada Shopping Centre.
The Lott said the News N More Bathurst team were ecstatic to have sold the winning entry and hoped their winner could fulfil their dreams with the prize.
