A woman from the City of Liverpool is happily planning a new kitchen and a trip to Hawaii after the shock revelation she is a division one winner from the weekend’s Saturday Lotto draw.
The ecstatic winner held one of the nine division one winning entries across Australia in Saturday Lotto draw 3891 on Saturday 3 November 2018. Each entry takes home the division one prize of $441,295.45.
“Now it’s actually real!” the happy woman exclaimed when a NSW Lotteries official confirmed her win this morning.
“I can sleep tonight! I checked my entry on Saturday night online. I saw the winning numbers and I said to my husband ‘I think we won division one’. He said ‘Yes, you did!’.
“But I couldn’t sleep Saturday night or last night. I was too shocked. That’s unbelievable. Honestly, that’s unbelievable!
“Now you’ve confirmed it, it’s 100% sunk in.”
The regular Lotto player shared she had been marking her online entries using her favourite numbers for many years.
“I’ve never changed them. My husband said never change them as one day they will come up, and now they have,” she laughed.
Amid the sleepless nights since her division one win, the woman has already started planning how she’ll use her Lotto windfall.
“We’ve started a renovation to update the house, including a new kitchen! We topped up the mortgage to do this, but now the renovation and the mortgage will be paid off.
“It’s an amazing feeling. When you are mortgage free, you can do what you want and you are a free person.
“And after Christmas, we’re off to Hawaii! I’ve always wanted to go so I’m going to book it.”
The south-west Sydney resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased her 18-game QuickPick entry online at thelott.com – Australia’s official lotteries.
