When Dale Card was at home with his wife on Tuesday afternoon, the last thing he expected was news that he had won $50,0000!
That's exactly what happened when he received a phone call from the Carlton Football Club.
Mr Card won the first prize of $50,000 in the Carlton Football Club's $200 Legends Lottery.
The Mill Park resident, who purchases a lottery ticket each year to support the Club, never thought that he would win.
"When I was given the news, my wife was standing next to me and we started hi-fiving each other!" Mr Card said.
The Carlton member said he and his wife plan to put the money towards expanding their family.
"We have one child, which we had through IVF," Mr Card said.
“We're planning on having another one next year – so the timing couldn't be better."
Second place in the Carlton Football Club's $200 Legends Lottery, a prize of $10,000, was won by Carlton member Robert Lane from Warnambool.
The Carlton Football Club would like to congratulate both winners and thank those who entered.
We look forward to launching our 2015 Carlton Lottery in the coming weeks. You have to be in it to win it – so to purchase your ticket call Footy Fundraisers on 1300 788 995.
