A Campbelltown woman immediately left work this morning, declaring she couldn’t concentrate after receiving a life-changing phone call confirming she scored a Saturday Lotto division one prize worth over $3 million in the weekend’s draw.
The thrilled winner held one of two division one winning entries in Saturday Lotto draw 4131, drawn Saturday 20 February 2021. Each entry takes home a division one prize worth $3,062,082.06.
When an official from The Lott phoned the woman to break the news this morning, she admitted she had been expecting the call.
“Oh my god! That’s amazing! I’d been hoping someone would call me to confirm the news!” she exclaimed.
“I don’t know what to say. I’m speechless. I’m in shock.
“I checked my ticket on Sunday. When I first saw it, I thought it said I had won $3,000!
“Then I looked again, and I was just in complete disbelief.
“I couldn’t do anything after that. I didn’t know if it was real or not.
“Now you’ve confirmed it I don’t know what to say. I’ll have to let it sink in. Wow!
“I’ve just been going about my life as normal. I’ve got things to do!
“I came into work this morning because I’m so busy. But I think I’m going to have to head home.
“Who can concentrate at a time like this?”
When asked how she planned to enjoy life as a newly-minted multi-millionaire, the overjoyed woman confessed the windfall would go a long way towards helping her realise her dream of owning her own home.
“Since COVID hit, it feels like everything has been put on hold,” she explained.
“Things have been a bit tough, and I’ve got a few people in my life who need a bit of help.
“This win will mean I’ll be able to pay off my mortgage or even buy a new house.
“I’ll be able to help my family, who need help.
“Once we can travel again, I’ll definitely be going on holiday!”
