More than a fortnight after she became a millionaire in a Monday & Wednesday Lotto draw, an Allawah woman has discovered the winning news for herself.
The woman’s entry was one of the three division one winning entries across Australia in Monday & Wednesday Lotto draw 3807 on Wednesday 10 October 2018. Each entry takes home a division one prize of $1 million.
In addition to winning division one, the woman’s marked System 7 entry also won division three 6 times, bolstering he total prize to $1,002,591.70.
However it wasn’t until this morning the woman discovered she became a Wednesday Lotto millionaire more than a fortnight ago.
“Oh my! Oh my!” the woman exclaimed after a NSW Lotteries official confirmed her win.
“I can’t believe it. I simply can’t believe it.”
“It’s beautiful!
“I’ve had this ticket here the whole time but I’ve only just gotten around to checking it. I thought I won $4,000, not over a million dollars.”
With the magnitude of her win only just sinking in, the happy woman’s mind turned to how she might use her Lotto windfall.
“There’s just so much I could do with this,” she said.
“There’s so many people I’ll be able to help – some very close friends and family.
“It’s just amazing to think about.
“There’ll definitely be a cruise in the future for me too.”
The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased her winning marked System 7 entry at Allawah News & Post Office, 454 Railway Parade, Allawah.
It’s the fourth division one winning entry Allawah News & Post Office has sold during the past 16 years.
