“Wow! I’m stunned!” she cheered.
“I don’t know how to react!
“I found out shortly after your missed calls. I’m at a friend’s place, so I wasn’t paying full attention to my phone.
“I was a bit unsure about them, but I decided to call The Lott in case.
“I can’t even say a lot of emotions are running through my head – it hasn’t hit my head yet!
“I can’t comprehend this!
“I’ve always played the exact same ticket for years and years. The same numbers, the same type of lottery ticket.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime thing!”
When asked how she planned to enjoy her bounty, the stunned winner said she already had one priority with her prize.
“I’m currently renting, so I can now look forward to buying a brand-new unit,” she said.
“I can’t wait.”
