An emotional Seaford Rise woman is thanking her late mother’s lottery numbers for making her an overnight Wednesday X Lotto millionaire.

The Adelaide winner held the only division one winning entry nationally in Monday & Wednesday X Lotto draw 4013, drawn Wednesday 30 September 2020. She takes home a division one prize of $1 million.

The elated woman admitted she hadn’t had much sleep, after checking her online The Lott account last night and discovering her win.

“Is it true? Am I really a millionaire?” the woman cried happily.

“Oh my god! Oh my god!

“I don’t even know how I feel right now. I can’t believe this.

“Sorry, I can’t stop crying, I am so overwhelmed.

“Oh sh*t! Oh sh*t!

“I found out last night. I have not been able to sleep since. It’s been an emotional time!

“You know those were my mum’s numbers. After she passed away, I started using her numbers.

“I feel like she helped deliver my win. God bless her!

“It’s just insane.

“My heart is beating so fast.”

When asked how she planned to enjoy her prize, the surprised woman said she’d need some time to think, but she did have a few ideas.

“It’s been a tough couple of months. We’ve been through a lot, so this will really help us so much,” she shared.

“As soon as we saw the win last night, my partner retired! It was amazing.

“I am going to help my dad out too, because he just got diagnosed with cancer.

“We’d love to go on a holiday once the money is in our account, just to relax and take it all in.”

The thrilled player, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased her marked 18-game entry online at thelott.com – Australia’s official lotteries.
