The Victorian player held one of the five division one winning entries across Australia in Monday & Wednesday Lotto draw 3977, drawn Wednesday 27 May 2020. They each take home a division one prize of $800,000.

This morning an official from the Lott called to break the exciting news to the winner, who immediately burst into happy tears.

“Gosh I am still in bed. I am half asleep!” she said.

“You’re not some telemarketer, are you?

“Oh my god! Are you serious? Eight hundred thousand dollars!

“You don’t know what this means to me.

“This means everything, absolutely everything.

“I don’t know what I will do today! I will just cry all day. Lots of happy tears!

“I have been going through a really, really tough time.

“I always hoped this would happen, but never really thought it would.

“I will use this prize to pay off the mortgage,” she explained.

“I have a bucket list of all the places I want to travel and all the things I want to do.

“This will mean I can make a lot more of those dreams a reality!”
