The Southern Tablelands resident held the only division one winning entry in Lotto Strike draw 5716 on Monday 15 September 2025. She scored a total prize of $770,232.65.
When an official from The Lott called to confirm the woman’s newfound fortune, she confessed she’d barely slept a wink since checking her ticket on Monday night.
“I’m going well today. Just tired!” she laughed.
“I didn’t sleep at all on Monday night. I saw the four numbers come up before bed, and I was completely shocked.
“I just kept looking at my phone and refreshing the app.
“It’s so amazing. It’ll help so many people.
“Sometimes I’ll just play two games in Lotto Strike, but as a birthday treat, I got myself five games.
“It’s unbelievable. It’s the best birthday present ever!
“It’s still sinking in, but I’m sure once reality sets in, I’ll do something to celebrate.
“I’ll definitely be helping my family. Thank you so much.”
Her winning 5-game entry was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
