The man, aged in his 20s, had previously joked about winning the lottery to his wife, when talking about buying a ticket.
Only a few hours later, his tongue-in-cheek prophecy came true.
"It's funny because I was joking with my wife last night telling her that we could be millionaires if we won division one," said the man, who wished to remain anonymous.

"I was just being a smart arse, but I was right.
"I just text my wife and told her, but she doesn't believe me. I am going to have to send her a screenshot of my phone.
"It's crazy to think we've just become millionaires."
As for the man's first item to tick off the agenda after realising his win? Booking in a feed at the pub of course!
"I think we will definitely be celebrating tonight. We will have to go to the pub," he said.
"As soon as I get off the phone, I am making a booking."
For the record, the winning numbers were 32, 23, 13, 3, 39 and 4 while the supplementary numbers were 34 and 40.
