“I am absolutely lost for words!
“It’s a lot to take in.
“This is just wonderful! I love this.
“I never thought I would win. I have been playing every week for ages.
“I am shocked. Thank you very, very much.”
When she began to comprehend the news of her win, the delighted retiree shared she wanted to call her daughter straight away to begin celebrating.
“It is very exciting! I will call my daughter straight away and she will probably race straight over,” she explained.
“We will have to go out and do something to celebrate today!”
When asked how she planned to spend her prize, the Mildura woman said she would share it with those at the top of her Lotto List.
“I am very close with my children. I will be sharing it with them,” she exclaimed.
“I would love to travel to the UK. I will go travelling with my daughter or my granddaughter.
“I want to go to Scotland. It is my first choice. I have always dreamed of visiting Scotland. It will be amazing!
