“It’s wonderful,” the winning woman cheered.
“I’ve put the ticket in a safe space because I’m so scared of losing it. We haven’t gotten over the shock yet!
“I went to manually check the winning numbers on Sunday morning and I completely missed number 21. I thought we were one number off winning division one!
“I went to the newsagency on Sunday morning to buy a newspaper, and while I was there, I asked for the winning numbers.
“I said to myself, ‘Oh, I’m sure we had number 21!’. I looked up The Lott website and I entered my ticket number, and it came up that we’ve won division one. I couldn’t believe it.
“The ticket is shared amongst our family, and our adult children are stoked.
“We’re not too sure what we’ll spend the money on as we’re still trying to process it all.
“We hope to come together and celebrate sometime soon!”
