Coffs Harbour friend group woke in night for shock lotto win

In the middle of the night, a Coffs Harbour woman woke up her lifelong friends, to drag them sleepy-eyed and befuddled to her house, before announcing they had scored a massive lotto windfall.

A Coffs Harbour friendship group has been woken up in the middle of the night on Saturday for news of a Lotto win over the weekend.

In the middle of the night, a Coffs Harbour woman woke up her lifelong friends, to drag them sleepy-eyed and befuddled to her house, before announcing they had scored a massive lotto windfall.

On Saturday night the woman banged on doors and called incessantly to wake her friends of 30 years after realising their syndicate had won $2.5 million in the Saturday Gold Lotto.

“I checked my ticket in bed while I was trying to sleep,” she said.

“I had my glasses on, I thought I was seeing double.

The syndicate leader who discovered her group's Lotto win kept cleaning her glasses as she couldn't believe her eyes.

“I kept cleaning my glasses and checking again.

“Then I finally realised what I was seeing was right!

“I thought ‘Oh my god!’ and I couldn’t wait to tell the rest of the group.”

The woman said the win was “incredible” and the syndicate members are “all so excited.”

The group plan on celebrating shortly — firstly with a dinner out where no doubt they will all be discussing how they plan on spending their share of the winnings.
