When asked how she planned to enjoy her windfall, the woman said it would go a long way to helping her get back on her feet after recent tough times.
“I’ve had some injuries recently and I haven’t been able to work, so this will really help me so much,” she said.
“I think we might have to get some takeaway tonight to celebrate. Anything that doesn’t require cooking is good.”
Across the country, the Fitzgibbon woman held the only entry that won the division two prize.
