“Thank you so much! I checked my tickets online and I saw that I had won!” she exclaimed.

“I called my son to tell him that I had won and he was so excited for me.

“He has been thinking about buying a new house and I said to him ‘You can start looking for a house now’ as I will be able to help him out.

“He said to me ‘No Mum, that money is all for you to spend and enjoy!’.”

When asked how the she planned to spend her TattsLotto windfall the happy winner shared a holiday to warmer weather was on the horizon.

“I’ll pay off the mortgage on the house. It will come in very handy,” she said.

“We’ve been wanting to do this for a while and now we can – thank you so much!”
