A Constitution Hill woman has declared her late husband is the reason she is now $200,000 richer after winning the 1st Prize in today’s Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw.
The Sydney player won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1244, drawn Monday 11 March 2019.
In addition to winning the 1st Prize, the woman’s entry of 10 consecutive numbers also delivered a $2,000 consolation prize.
Speaking to a NSW Lotteries official this afternoon, the winner shared she was struggling to comprehend the news she had really won the 1st Prize.
“Are you pulling my leg? Has someone put you up to this?” she laughed questionably.
“I can’t get over it! I am going through a mental block right now! Are you sure?
“Oh my gosh. This is beautiful!
“My blood pressure has definitely gone up! It’s starting to sink in that I’ve won. This is just wonderful, thank you!
“I can’t wait to tell my family. I want to wait to show them my win when it’s in my bank account but I don’t think I can wait that long.
“They’ll be able to tell something is up because of the huge smile I’ll have on my face.
“I am going to have to celebrate. I might go to my neighbours and have some afternoon drinks and then go out for some Chinese with my family. They’re going to be so happy!”
The retired woman said her late husband had inspired her to play Lucky Lotteries.
“My late husband always played Lucky Lotteries and he would always tell me that we would have a big win. He would swear on it,” she exclaimed.
“But we never had a big win so I didn’t believe him.
“But then when he passed, I wanted to continue playing for him. After that, I would always tell my family what my husband told me, that we would have a big win.
“I know he is looking down at me right now and he would be so happy I’ve finally had our big win.”
When asked how she planned to spend her win, the generous woman explained she would share it with her family.
“I want to divide it up between my family to help them,” she declared.
“This is going to be such a big help to my family. We’ve never had much so this is amazing for us.
“I would then like to go for a holiday up north and put the rest away to use in the future.”
