A Lake Illawarra woman plans to buy a house to live closer to her parents after winning $2 million in last Saturday’s Lotto draw.
She was one of 10 division one winning entries nationally in Saturday Lotto draw 4515, with each lucky winner pocketing a cool $2 million.
The woman had just checked her ticket when an official from The Lott reached out to her.
“I’m shaking. Oh my gosh!” she said.
“Sh**! I’ve been ignoring your phone calls all day.
“When I checked my ticket, I saw two million, I just went ‘Oh my sh**!’.
“I can buy a house, and I’ll have no mortgage! I can’t believe it.
“I’ve never won something like this. I can’t stop smiling and laughing.
“I’ve got to call mum and dad! I’ll make sure they’re sitting down.
“Dad’s going to be in disbelief when I tell him I won on a QuickPick because he’s played the same numbers for years and never won something like this.
“Oh gosh. I don’t know how I’ll keep quiet tomorrow; I can never keep secrets.
“Now I can move closer to my parents, or they can move closer to me. We’ve always talked about it, but now it can be a reality.”
Her 18-game QuickPick entry was purchased via The Lott app.
There were three other NSW winners, along with three in Queensland, two in Western Australia and one in Victoria.
