“It’s changed my life,” the winner in her 20s declared when confirming her win with an official from The Lott.

“I only ever buy a ticket every now and then. I’ve never really won anything.

“But this ticket I bought about 7pm on Saturday night at the last minute before the draw closed.

“I’m glad I did!

“Before I went to bed on Saturday, I just had a feeling I should check my ticket. And it was a winning ticket!

“I got no sleep after that.

“I’m wanting to build my own house, and now I can mortgage-free. I might be able to upgrade a few plans for the house too.

“It’s a great feeling.”
