Paying off his home and buying a nice bottle of scotch are on top of the lucky's man wish list after he won first prize in the Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1350, drawn on Thursday.
Confirming his win with a NSW Lotteries official on Friday afternoon, the man said he had an inkling he'd won big.
"Very good, isn't it," he laughed. "Thank you so much!
"This morning, just after I finished night shift, I checked Facebook to see a friend had posted that someone in Blayney had won $200,000.
"That's when I remembered I had a ticket in yesterday's draw. I came into the newsagency hoping it was me and it was."

The man said the prize meant he'd be able to finally own his home.
"I'll probably pay off my house which will be a great feeling," he said.
"Maybe I'll celebrate with a nice bottle of scotch over the weekend."
The winning ticket was purchased at Blayney Newsagency and owner Sharryn Kearney said it was a thrill to sell a first prize-winning entry.
"It's so exciting to see this prize go to a local out here in Blayney," she said
"We've had a few big prizes land out here before but we haven't sold a major prize-winning entry in a long time so this is very exciting.
"It's great for locals to see that lottery wins do land in small country towns. We're hoping lightning strikes twice."
The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize now stands at $73.48 million.
