A Cairns man has become a millionaire overnight after taking home a massive $4.8 million in the lotto.
He held the only division one winning entry in yesterday’s Set For Life draw.
His prize will be paid in monthly instalments of $20,000 for the next 20 years.

This year alone, there have been five division one wins in Far North Queensland, totalling $10.3 million.
The winner said his newfound wealth will allow him to travel the world with his family, hire a personal trainer and work less.
“I found out late last night while I was in bed,” he said.
“I checked the numbers first and then recognised some of them, and so I checked my ticket and bam – there it was!
“I double-checked it so many times. I couldn’t believe it when I saw I’d won division one.

“I called some family members straight away and told them, and they were so happy for me.
“It’s a dream come true!”
The man's life-changing pick of numbers was purchased online.
