Speaking with an official from The Lott this morning, the Victorian player was in high spirits following the revelation.

“Holy hell! Are you sure you’re talking to the right person?” she questioned.

“Can you repeat what you just said? One million dollars?

“Are you sure you’re not scamming me? I wasn’t even going to answer this call, but I am so glad I did.

“What! What! What! This is insane!

“Are you really sure? I have only just woken up; I am not even out of bed yet!

“I am astounded!

“Oh dear me! I need to recover from this shock!

“A millionaire? Me? Who would’ve thought!

“I want to sing I am so happy.”

When asked how she planned to enjoy life as a millionaire, the euphoric winner thought of her family first.

“Well, we will definitely share most of it with our kids,” she explained.

“I definitely do want to spoil myself as well.

“I’d love to go on a few trips as well.”

Her winning marked 12-game entry was purchased online at thelott.com – Australia’s official lotteries.
