“Oh my god! How fabulous!” she cheered.
“I can’t believe it. it’s life-changing!
“I missed your phone calls on Friday, so I didn’t check my ticket until the following morning. I was curious to know who was calling me!
“On Saturday, I checked the ticket near my children, and I yelled, ‘Oh my god! Oh my god!’.
“It’s funny. I saw that someone had won division one in Set for Life recently in an online story and I decided to give it a go and purchase a ticket. I never expected to win division one myself!
“We were absolutely stunned. It’s hard to comprehend.
“The past two years have been a rollercoaster with the pandemic and long lockdowns. It will be nice to look onto the future with a bit of ease.”
When asked how she planned to enjoy her newfound fortune, the winner said she couldn’t wait to book an overseas holiday.
