A South Coast woman has picked up the phone to news she’d always dreamt of receiving, after winning $200,000 in the latest Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw.
The New South Wales player won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1261, drawn Friday 29 March 2019.
Confirming her win with a NSW Lotteries official this afternoon, the woman revealed she’d been waiting for the exciting phone call.
“I’m in shock actually,” she said.
“I’ve been playing lottery games since day one and every morning my husband gets up to check our emails to see if we’ve won anything.
“For about the last month he’s been telling me that I choose terrible numbers.
“So just the other day I told him that he wasn’t allowed to look anymore.
“On Wednesday I discovered I won $96 in Oz Lotto and I was on cloud nine!
“Now I’m out of the universe to tell you the truth!
“I can’t wait until my husband gets home and I can tell him. I don’t think he will believe me!
“I’ve been waiting for this day but I never thought it would actually happen!”
The thrilled winner didn’t need long to think of how she’d use her unexpected windfall.
“We’ve got a few home renovations to do,” she explained.
“And then I would love to go on a holiday. I’ve always dreamt of going on a European river cruise.
“I think I need to go celebrate now with a baileys on ice and wait for my husband to come home to tell him!”
“I’m just ecstatic! Absolutely thrilled. You always dare to dream but you never think you’re actually going to receive one of these phone calls!”
