Michael discovered he’d won the life-changing prize after the Friday night draw and he spent the rest of the evening in disbelief, checking and rechecking his numbers with his girlfriend Kelly.
“I couldn’t believe it when I saw that I’d won, in fact, I still can’t. I couldn’t stop laughing on Friday night – my girlfriend thought I was joking,” he said. “We had a bit of a late night on Friday; celebrating and talking about how to spend the money."
Michael relaxs by the pool at their hotel in Sydney.
The couple took their amazing Australian holiday in the New Year.
They flew business class to Australia before spending two weeks traveling round the country.
Diving at the Great Barrier Reef was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the couple.
On the agenda were visiting some of its most famous landmarks including the Sydney Opera House, Uluru (Ayres Rock) and the Great Barrier Reef.
A helicopter sightseeing flight was the highlight of their travel.
When he returned from the all expenses paid trip, Michael, who currently lives with his parents, planned to buy his own home - as well as a new one for his Mum and Dad nearby.
A lifelong Liverpool supporter, he hopes to see his team play more often now that he won’t be working weekends.
