An unidentified man from Helensvale, Australia used the loose change of $1 in his car to purchase a scratch-off lottery ticket that earned him $10,000.
The man, from Helensvale, bought a $1 Lucky Clover ticket and won the game's top prize.
The ticket distributor will get $1000 for selling the winning Scratch-Off ticket.
"I thought 'why not,' and grabbed a bunch of coins that were sitting in my car and before I knew it, I was holding a $10,000 ticket," he said.
"Having never really won anything before, I raced back to the newsagent to get it scanned again, just to make sure it was real," the man continued.
The man said he will use his winning amount to fix his car and plans on celebrating with his friends and family in a couple of weeks.
