00:00 Mystery surrounds the middle-aged man who bought his ticket from this service station in Salisbury.
00:07 He's keeping his identity under wraps, but has provided some insight into the win in a statement released through the lottery organiser.
00:14 He bought the ticket a few days ago, one of two entries he had for the drawer.
00:18 He says he hasn't slept, and has been checking the ticket over and over since late last night.
00:23 But he's gone to work today and plans to keep working despite the life-changing windfall.
00:28 Fellow Adelaideans have some suggestions for what he could do with the money.
00:32 $150 million. I would probably cash it, put it in a room, swim in it, make paper aeroplanes out of it and throw them out the window.
00:43 Probably retire early. I'm still in my 30s, so I'd travel, take my kids around the world and live lavishly.
00:50 To have a South Australian winner, let alone a winner who has purchased a ticket from our OTR Salisbury Drive-Thru store, is fantastic for the community as well.
01:00 The man says he's still coming to terms with the win and plans to buy a house, go travelling and help family and friends.
01:06 friends.
