A Windsor couple are looking forward to saying goodbye to working overtime, and hello to spending more time with their children after taking home $1 million in a recent Monday & Wednesday Lotto draw.
The New South Wales residents held one of the two division one winning entries in Monday & Wednesday Lotto draw 4259 on Wednesday 8 February 2023 and took home $1 million.
The winners took a little longer to discover their life-changing windfall as the winning entry was unregistered, which meant officials from The Lott had no way of contacting the winner to break the news.
So far in 2023, there have been four division one winning entries in the Western Sydney and Blue Mountains region that have taken home $2.67 million in prize money.
The winning woman said she has her children to thank for their million-dollar win after they notified her of a mystery winner in the area.
“Oh god, this is life-changing,” she happily cried when speaking to an official from The Lott.
“We’re so grateful for this win.
“We’ve been doing it tough and working extra hours between my husband and I.
“This was a last-minute ticket, and I thought we’ve just got to be in it to win it!
“Thankfully my children told me there was a winner in the local area, so I decided to check our ticket.
“I called my husband straight away after checking our ticket and I said, ‘We’ve done it!’.
“I’ve hardly slept a wink since discovering the win!”
With $1 million about to boost their bank accounts and their lives, the newly-made millionaire said the prize will allow them to spend more time with their beloved family and pay off the mortgage.
“This means we can have more family time without having to worry!” she said.
“We also won’t have a mortgage anymore which is amazing.”
Their 24-game QuickPick was purchased at Windsor Riverview Newsagency, Shop 11, Windsor Riverview Shopping Centre, 227 George Street, Windsor.
The Windsor Riverview Newsagency team said they’re overjoyed to hear the division one winning entry has been claimed and they wish the winners all the best with their prize.
The winning numbers in Monday & Wednesday Lotto draw 4259 on Wednesday 8 February 2023 were 28, 40, 31, 38, 23 and 19, while the supplementary numbers were 36 and 34.
