Sharing her excitement with a Tatts official this morning, the woman revealed how she came to hold the winning ticket.
âI started playing TattsLotto in the year 2000 after a fortune teller told me I was going to win,â she explained.
âShe told me I would win division one three times, so Iâve been playing every week since then after researching different ways of how to play.
âBut weâve been waiting almost 20 years to win the first one! The first time in my life Iâve ever won anything!â
When asked how she planned to spend her division one windfall the happy winner didnât hesitate to share how she would enjoy the win.
âIâll pay off my mortgage!â she declared.
âWe havenât been on holidays until 2015, so we will go on a family holiday to Hawaii!
âIâll take my two children and grandchildren with me and have a well-deserved holiday.â
The happy winner said the win had come at a great time ahead of family celebrations.
âWe are celebrating our wedding anniversary at the end of the month, and my family will be coming to join us so we will all celebrate the win together then,â she shared.
The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased her entry at 18 Lucky Lotto, Shop G18B, Springvale Shopping Centre, 46-58 Buckingham Ave, Springvale.
