A Holland Park woman says she’s not interested in lavish homes or fast cars, instead admitting she’d pay off her kids' HECS debts and share her $1.3 million Saturday Gold Lotto windfall with family.

“Oh my gosh! That’s incredible!” she gasped when an official from The Lott called to confirm her windfall.

“We’ve been playing these numbers for almost 30 years! They finally worked!

“As for retirement, that can wait!
“I love my job and I always said I’d keep working even if we won the lottery.
