A Singleton farmer who’s been battling through the Upper Hunter’s drought has seen his luck change, winning $200,000 on Lotto.
The winning entry took out 1st prize in the Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot on Friday night, and was purchased from the Singleton Discount Drug Store on John Street.
The man, who’s remaining anonymous, has told Lotto officials he’ll use it to install a water bore on his property.
“We’ve been going through the drought and things are a bit tough at the moment, so the win will be a godsend,” he said.
“I’ve been buying hay for the animals and things are triple the price, so it will be very good.”
