A Queensland man has some 鈥渨ild鈥 emu-related plans for his recent Lotto win.
One of five jackpot winners, he took home A$2 million ($2.3m) in Saturday鈥檚 Lotto Gold draw, Nine 九一星空无限 reports.
The man, who has not been named, said he is still in shock after the big win, which he 鈥渘ever expected鈥 would happen to him.
He is now contemplating building an emu racetrack with the winnings on a property he has between Proserpine and Airlie Beach.
The man seemingly has not been involved in the competitive sport in the past, which involves jockeys riding emus at speed.
鈥淚鈥檝e loved emus since childhood and have always wondered if I could do such a thing. Now with A$2m, who knows?鈥
The giant bird, which is native to Australia, is considered one of the country鈥檚 cultural icons and is included on the national coat of arms opposite a kangaroo.
The man said he will be celebrating his win with friends at his local RSL.
