“I’m just so happy! Brilliant! It’s brilliant,” the woman exclaimed when an official from The Lott confirmed her prize.

“I only checked my ticket this morning. Honestly, I don’t think it’s fully sunk in yet.

“I’m just numb. Happy numb!

“These are just random numbers I picked and have been playing for a long time.

“At first, when I checked my ticket, I thought it just said I’d won $120. My brain didn’t register all the digits. It’s a little bit more than that – one point two five million dollars!

“This just takes the whole stress out of things.

“We’re doing alright, but this allows us to help the family and as we’re heading to retirement, this will be a big help.

“It’s just peace of mind and relief.

“It’s been a very happy Valentine’s Day!”
