The South Coast resident is a regular Lucky Lotteries player, and won first prize on Thursday, August 22.
He said his windfall had arrived at the perfect time and he'd use his prize to retire early when a NSW Lotteries official contacted him to break the news.
"That's made my day," he said.
"I've been thinking about retiring soon so this has just made that decision a lot easier."
"I'll certainly be celebrating tonight."
The winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased his winning entry at Nowra Mall Paper Shop, Shop 19, Nowra Mall, 52 Kinghorne Street, Nowra.
Nowra Mall Paper Shop employee Kim Horne said it was great to see another big win land in the region.
"It was very exciting when we saw we'd sold a winning entry," she said.
"And it's even better to know this win has gone to one of our local and regular customers."
