| TIME | CONTENT – summary | EVALUATION |
| 0.00 | Q-When did you first hear about the raffle and where were you when you bought the tickets? | |
| 0.05 | A-I first read about on News.com actually and I was just at my desk during my lunch break at work and kinda sent a message through to Josh, the mate I split the tickets with and we had a bit of a read of the article and brought them that day. | Mostly clear voice, A car driving past is auditable. |
| 0.20 | Q- What were you thinking when you made the investment? | |
| 0.24 | A- I wasn’t expecting anything really just thought it would be a cool thing to enter, the odds were pretty decent so I just brought them and see how I went. | Clear voice, Good response |
| 0.34 | Q- Did you think you could when or did you not even consider buying a ticket? | |
| 0.38 | A- After I read it, I didn’t really consider not buying a ticket because it was a cool thing to enter. I really did not have any inkling I would win anything major like this. The odds were relatively attractive if you compare them to that of the lotto. Someone has to win it could be in with a chance. | |
| 1.00 | Q- Where were you when you found out you won? | |
| 1.04 | A- I was actually working a late shift at my work. So I was still at work and my friend josh actually got the call and he was in the middle of Hotel Illawarra at a trivia night and he actually missed the call. So, he got the call and he sent me a text and said: “I think the raffle bloke just called me”. I said what do mean you think and anyway after about twenty or thirty minutes, they gave him the callback and had a bit of a chat with him and everything was kinda confirmed that we won and I was still at work at the time. | Nice volume and clear voice |
| 1.33 | Q- So what went through your mind at the time when you won, did you ever think it was a joke? | |
| 1.36 | A- I didn’t think it was a joke it seemed pretty legit, I was a bit hesitant to tell many people right at the start just in case it was, or turned to be. But no I didn’t really think it was a joke. | Didn’t answer the first question. |
| 1.52 | Q- Who did you first call? | |
| 1.54 | A- I actually called my mum and dad first and they didn’t believe me(laughs). Then I let my girlfriend know. She was actually boarding a flight from Europe and she told me she was thinking about it all the way home. | |
| 2.18 | Q- Has anyone been treating you differently at all? | |
| 2.20 | A- No, not really, I am pretty much treated the same, had a lot of media requests, so that’s a lot different to what I expect usually. Friends and Family have been treating me the same, but they all inkling for some free holidays. | Noise in the background |
| 2.36 | Q-How many people have tried to give you advice? | Breath can be heard on mic |
| 2.38 | A- There have been a few people saying “Make sure you sort a lot of advice”. The good thing about me and Josh is that we both are in the financial field so we already have a good understanding of how everything works. Josh works as an accountant and I work as a financial planner. We have a lot of people we can contact if we need any advice. | |
| 3.10 | Q- Do you consider yourself a lucky person? | |
| 3.12 | A- A little bit, well now I do. I consider myself being quite lucky, but I feel I was already lucky. Grow up, good house, good parents, great friends, so in life, I was pretty lucky. But you know what they say if you don’t buy a ticket you can’t win the raffle. | |
| 3.56 | Q- Were you ever overwhelmed by your newfound responsibilities? | |
| 4.00 | A- I still am actual, It is a lot different to winning a bunch of money in the lotto, we have a lot of things to consider, how are we going to run a resort we have no business experience. Tax implications, there is a whole list of things we have to consider going it this. | Voice is low. Slight mumble |
| 4.30 | Q-Did you ever consider leaving your job? | |
| 4.34 | A- I did consider leaving my job, but I don’t think I will at this stage. I think it’s just because I just finished uni and just got this job. So, the way I kinda thought of it was if I was forty years old right now I would just pack it up right now and move over there and live and manage the resort. But at this stage in my life, I am leaning towards staying in my career and managing the business from a arms length. | |
| 4.59 | Q- Growing up as a kid could you ever imagine owning a multimillion dollar resort at the age of 25? | Breath can be heard. Too much on mic |
| 5.02 | A- No(laugh) it’s crazy the whole thing is just crazy | |
