An Avoca Beach woman has made herself dizzy this morning from walking around in circles after discovering she had scored $1 million in last night’s Monday & Wednesday Lotto draw.
The Central Coast resident held one of two division one winning entries in Monday & Wednesday Lotto draw 4390, drawn Monday 13 May 2024, and pocketed $1 million.
The winning woman had no idea of her newfound fortune when officials from The Lott called, leaving her in complete surprise.
“Oh my god! You’re kidding me?! I’ve never won a chook in a chook raffle!” she cheered.
“You have no idea how much this means to me. I’m a registered nurse and I’ve been working for over 40 years!
“I’ve got my ticket in my hand and I’m walking around in circles. This is crazy!
“My husband always said, ‘You’ll never win, people like us don’t win, we just keep working!’. Well, I’ve proven him wrong!
“I’ve been playing since my father passed and I feel like this is a special sign.
“He used to always play Lotto and who knows, maybe he helped me win.
“I always use the same special numbers – birthdays and other things.
“I just can’t believe this. I almost didn’t answer the call because I normally ignore random numbers.
“We’ve been having a few setbacks lately so this is going to help so much. I just can’t wait to tell my family.”
Her winning marked six-game entry was purchased from Kuoch Chemist Terrigal, Shops 1 & 2, 80 Terrigal Esplanade, Terrigal.
The Kuoch Chemist Terrigal team said they were over the moon for their winning customer and wished her all the best with her prize.
