A philanthropic local man has today wowed his family with a touching display of generosity.
Grahame Grahamson from our town’s humble Betoota Ponds district has revealed to The Advocate some grand plans to bestow wealth upon his offspring.
The semi-retired plumber sensationally confirmed he would be giving his kids a few hundred grand…
We then asked about where the working class single residential property owner was getting the spare bit of cash from, he laughed.
“When I win Oz Lotto,” said the optimistic local father.
The promise, contingent on winning the lottery (a much romanticized pastime of Australian life) came after a phone conversation with his youngest daughter.
“Yeah, I told her she could have a couple hundred if I won,” he explained to his daughter after she asked whether he’d got his Tuesday night ticket.
“If she’s nice to me of course.”
“Tom (his middle child son) isn’t getting a cent out of me though.”
“He’s still yet to get my spare mower fixed, after he decided to go and trim a few rocks.”
“There will not be a cent for Tommy until he fixes that bad boy. It’s a principle thing.”
Grahame then launched into a rant about his strategy with Tuesday night’s Oz Lotto numbers, like he’s a movie character plotting a daring card counter raid on a ritzy casino.
“But I always make sure to include my favourite number 8,” he winked.
“That’s the secret.”
More to come.
