The Muswellbrook Shire resident held the only division one winning entry in Weekday Windfall draw 4585 on Wednesday 13 August 2025. She pocketed $1 million.
The winner was completely oblivious to her good fortune until she checked her ticket on Friday afternoon.
“Oh my god! Thank you! Thank you!” she cried when an official from The Lott confirmed her prize.
“I had no idea! I’m surprised I hadn’t heard there’d been a win in town.
“I was just sitting here at the end of the working week and checked my email.
“I’ve been running those numbers for the last 20 years. I don’t know where I got the numbers from, but I just stuck with them.
“I just thought, ‘I’ll keep playing them as one day they might come up’ and that day has finally come! What a way to finish the week!
“It will make our lives better. It just takes the pressure off. It will allow us to pay off some bills and save for the future.
“We’re blown away!”
