Winston Hill woman’s struggles to comprehend Saturday Lotto prize

A Winston Hill woman’s Sunday was happily interrupted by the revelation she won division one in the weekend’s Saturday Lotto draw.

“Oh my gosh! Thank you!” the winner exclaimed when her prize was confirmed by an official from The Lott.

“I had a message and I thought it was scam. But then I thought I’d check my Saturday Lotto ticket.

‘I saw $860,000 and thought, ‘this can’t be right!’.

“I got my partner to check my ticket. I said, ‘Can you look at this? Is this right?’.

“I’m still not sure. You might have to pinch me!

“This was just a QuickPick. Every time I autoselect I look at the numbers and see if I like the combination. I liked this combination of numbers. I don’t know what I was thinking. I just thought, ’let’s see what happens’.

“This will really help us and help get us into our first home.

“I’m just going to stare at these numbers for a long time!”
