A mother from New South Wales was recently over the moon after discovering she had won a whopping $2.5 million in the lottery. Her lucky ticket was purchased from a local news agency in her hometown of The Entrance, located on the stunning central coast of the state. Interestingly, she had not registered her ticket or created an online account, making her win even more surprising.
The ecstatic winner wasted no time in claiming her prize after checking her ticket and realizing she had hit the jackpot. She took home a staggering $2,519,100.97 from the Saturday Lotto draw, leaving her absolutely speechless. "I couldn't believe it when I saw the numbers on my ticket," she exclaimed. "I've been playing for years and only ever won small amounts, so this win was completely unexpected."
The lucky mother admitted that she had been carrying her ticket around as if it were made of pure gold, not wanting to risk losing it before claiming her prize. Her plans for the winnings include helping out her children, splurging on some Christmas presents, and treating herself to a luxurious trip to Europe. It's safe to say that her life will never be the same again.
The winning ticket was purchased at The Entrance Newsagency, which had never before sold a division one winning ticket in the ten years that owner Blake Gavljak has owned the business. "We've had many customers come close to winning in the past, but this is the first time we've had the privilege of changing someone's life with a big win," he shared.
The lucky winner was not the only one celebrating, as there were two division one winning entries in the Saturday Lotto draw 4521. The other winning ticket was sold in Western Australia, where another lucky punter took home the same amount of $2.5 million from Mundaring Lotto and Gifts. However, unlike the ecstatic mother from NSW, the winner from WA has yet to come forward and claim their prize.
It just goes to show that luck can strike in unexpected places, and anyone can become an overnight millionaire. Who knows, maybe it's time to check that old lottery ticket you've been holding onto in your wallet? You never know, it could be worth millions!
