A generous Werribee mum is making this holiday season unforgettable, planning to use every cent of her million-dollar win from last night’s Weekday Windfall draw to create a magical Christmas for her family.
The Greater Melbourne resident held one of the four division one winning entries nationally in Weekday Windfall draw 4473, drawn Monday 25 November 2024. Each entry scored $1 million.
So far in 2024, there have been 17 major lottery wins in Melbourne’s west, with winners collectively pocketing over $17.71 million in prize money.
The jubilant woman revealed she checked her ticket late last night, only to be left speechless by the life-enhancing discovery that she had just become a newly-minted millionaire.
“I couldn’t believe it. It’s a shock to the system,” she exclaimed.
“I thought I’d check the ticket last night before I went to bed. I was so surprised when I discovered the win!
“I’ve already told my husband and my children; we’re all blown away by the news.
“We’re such givers, not takers, so we know this will just help our entire family. I can’t wait to spoil them!
“I’ve always believed that we leave this world with nothing, which is why it’s so important to give back to others while we can. We appreciate every day as it comes.
“We can’t wait to make this Christmas the best one yet.
“Thank you very much for the best phone call!”
