A single mum from Bondi can’t wait to spoil her little girl and set her up for a bright future ahead after taking home a wondrous $1.3 million in the weekend’s Saturday Lotto draw.
The beachside resident held one of the four division one winning entries in Saturday Lotto draw 4411, drawn Saturday 28 October 2023, and pocketed $1,311,960.34.
The New South Wales woman discovered her lottery loot late at night and was left tossing and turning in her sleep.
“Wow! That’s so amazing,” she cheered.
“I’m so excited. I can’t believe this has happened.
“It was quarter to ten on Saturday night and I decided to check my ticket. My daughter was sitting next to me, and my face immediately changed.
“The confetti came up on The Lott App and I yelled, ‘Oh my god! Is this real?’
“I couldn’t get to sleep, and I went to work the next day like nothing happened!
“This will really help me as a single mum – it’s so amazing.
“My daughter and I can go on an overseas holiday for Christmas and then I’ll be able to buy a home.
“I’ll keep the rest in the bank and put it towards my daughter’s education.
“Thank you so much.”
