The northern Tasmanian held one of the two division one winning entries in Weekday Windfall nationally in draw 4465, drawn Wednesday 6 November 2024 and took home a neat $1 million.
Unable to sleep in the early hours of the morning, the winning woman decided to check her ticket and was left utterly speechless in disbelief.
“Thank you very much! This is crazy!” she exclaimed.
“Wow! It doesn’t feel real!
“We have a baby on the way, and this will be a huge help!
“It was about 2am and I was struggling to sleep – a lot of tossing and turning because of the baby kicking.
“My husband was already getting ready because he was starting work at 4am, and he came over and said, “Did you win? Is that win yours?”
“We’re both in shock.”
When asked how she planned to enjoy her new millionaire status, the cheerful winner revealed that the prize would help her make a big dent in her mortgage payments.
“We will be putting it towards paying off the house,” he said.
“It will be a huge help!”
