That reminds me of Thomas "Hollywood" Henderson, a former NFL / Dallas Cowboys player who won the Texas Lotto to the tune of $28 million back in 2000. (and another 20 grand shortly after that win) He was asked what he was going to do after winning the lottery and he said "Not a d*mn thing...and I won't start that until after lunch."

An Australian father said he was pretty sure he'd quit his job after winning the $96 million prize Tuesday in the Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot, according to the Australian lottery website The Lott.

The Sydney man, who wishes to remain anonymous, is the second-biggest individual lottery winner in Australian history, according The Lott. He was told about his winnings while he was at work.

You're s*****g me! he yelled after a moment of silence. I can only say holy s**t ... I'm shaking. I'm just waiting for someone to tell me I'm being punked.

The dad told The Lott he couldn't wait to call his wife and tell her the news.

I don't think she'll believe me, he said. I'm a bit of a prankster so she'll probably think I'm pulling a fast one.

Knowing that the winnings would change his life, the man told The Lott he would first look after his children and make sure they are set up for the future.

Then I am going to find the most outrageous holiday I can think of to take myself on, he said. I've always wanted to travel so maybe I'll work my way around the world.

The man said it's unlikely that he'd finish the day at work after getting the news.

My endless lunch break starts now! he said.

The current record in Australia for the largest lottery win was set in January when a Sydney woman won the $107.5 million Powerball prize, The Lott said.
