An Ashfield woman is making her dreams of a new home and car a reality after checking her Saturday Lotto ticket and discovering she was one of the weekend’s division one winners.
The Sydney resident held one of the six division one winning entries across Australia in Saturday Lotto draw 4063 on Saturday 27 June 2020. Each entry won a division one prize of $797,002.74.
Confirming the happy news with an official from the Lott this afternoon, the woman explained she’d just checked her ticket.
“Thank you very, very much,” she eventually managed.
“It hasn’t hit me yet. I just can’t believe it!
“I checked my ticket earlier today at the newsagency and prize amount wouldn’t come up on the screen.
“When they said I’d won division one, I really couldn’t believe it!
“I was in shock. This is unreal.
“I’ve only ever dreamt about something like this happening to me and now it has.
“It’s unbelievable. It’s life-changing!”
When asked how she’d always dreamt of enjoying her division one windfall, the Sydney woman said plenty of wish list items would be made a reality.
“I will pay a few bills to begin with,” she said.
“I’ve always wanted a car, so maybe I will be able to buy myself a new car for the very first time.
“And I will be able to put down a deposit for my very own home.
“It’s hard to fathom! I still can’t believe it.”
The overwhelmed player, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased her winning entry at News Ashfield Mall, Shops 8-9 Ashfield Mall, 260A Liverpool Road, Ashfield.
