The Sydney player held one of the seven division one winning entries nationally in Saturday Lotto draw 3979, drawn Saturday 7 September 2019. Each entry took home a division one prize of $573,928.68.
Speaking with a NSW Lotteries official this morning, the happy winner declared her division one was ‘life changing’.
“That is unbelievable!” she laughed.
“This is so incredible. What a nice surprise for a Monday!
“It has come at a great time.
“You have no idea how much this means to me.
“I will have to have a drink tonight to celebrate.
“This is life-changing for me.”
When asked how she planned to enjoy her prize, the thrilled winner admitted she had plenty of ideas.
“I am going to put it on the mortgage, and I want to do some renovations on my house,” she explained.
“I would love to help my family and go on a holiday to Hawaii too.
“It will still be a budget holiday though! I want my prize to last.”
