A young Adelaide woman in her 30s hasn’t slept a wink since checking her ticket last night and discovering she had become a millionaire thanks to scoring a division one win in Monday and Wednesday X Lotto.
The happy winner held one of the three division one winning entries nationally in Monday and Wednesday X Lotto draw 4049, drawn 3 February 2021. Each entry takes home a $1 million prize.
Sharing her excitement with an official from The Lott this morning, the tired, but happy, winner recounted the moment she discovered her life-changing win.
“Oh my god! Thank you so much for the call! You’ve put my mind at ease!” she exclaimed.
“We were just out getting gelato last night and as soon as we got home, I checked my ticket.
“I had such an out of body experience. It was crazy.
“I dropped my phone. My mind couldn’t even process what I was seeing.
“I didn’t know what to do! I haven’t slept since.
“Sorry if I seem really out of it. I haven’t even had coffee yet this morning.
“I’ve only just started buying lottery tickets in the last few months.
“I grabbed a QuickPick a few hours before the draw closed because I’d won on my last ticket.
“So much runs through your head when you win. It feels so good to hear it confirmed.”
When asked how she planned to enjoy life as a millionaire, the thrilled woman said she was looking forward to not worrying about expenses in the future.
“I’m going to use it to get my life sorted!” she declared.
“I’ll use it to set myself up for the future. I can’t wait to not worry about how much petrol to put in my car or wait for my next paycheck.
“I can’t wait to tell my parents. They will be so relieved. They’ve worked so hard to look after me my whole life, and now they won’t have to worry about my future!
“I’m so grateful for the win!”
The ecstatic player, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased her 50-game QuickPick entry online at thelott.com – Australia’s official lotteries.
