A Korumburra woman was counting sheep and counting zeros when a late-night check of her Weekday Windfall ticket revealed she'd nabbed $1 million in a recent draw.
The South Gippsland resident held one of the three division one winning entries nationally in Weekday Windfall draw 4714 on Wednesday 10 June 2026. Each division one winning entry pocketed $1 million.
As the winning woman had not registered her ticket to a player card or online account, officials from The Lott had no way of contacting her and had to wait for her to check her ticket and come forward.
“Thank you very much! I’m gobsmacked,” she laughed.
“I checked it on the website and I didn’t know what to think. I got my husband to double check it because I thought, ‘Surely not!’.
“When we checked, it was already nighttime, so we got no sleep after that. There were lots of tossing and turning.
“We’re completely shocked. I don’t think anyone thinks they’re actually going to win so it’s a very weird feeling.
“Luckily I had a busy day with lots of stuff on. Otherwise, I might’ve sent myself crazy with thinking.”
When asked how she planned to use her newfound fortune, the winning woman shared her priority was helping loved ones.
“Really, it’ll just be helping family out,” she said.
“Thank you and hopefully I can sleep tonight!”
Her winning entry was purchased from Korumburra Post Office, 30 Commercial Street, Korumburra.
Korumburra Post Office owner Sam Patel said he was thrilled his outlet had sold their first division one winning entry.
“Congratulations to our winner! From the bottom of my heart, you’ve just won the kind of prize most people only dream about,” he said.
“I hope this brings you and your loved ones incredible joy, freedom, and the chance to do all the things you’ve always wanted.
“This is a reminder of how special small communities are. Someone walked through our doors, grabbed a ticket and changed their life. It shows that big things can happen in ordinary places.
"Our customers will be very excited and proud to know that we sold our first division one winning entry. We look forward to celebrating with them and sharing in the excitement.”
