A NORTHERN beaches woman is $1.4 million richer after winning Saturday’s division one Lotto draw.
Amid the excitement, the winning woman, who chose to keep her identity secret, said her husband had always said she was a lucky person and would one day win Lotto.
The happy winner had one of 14 division one winning entries in Saturday Lotto’s $20 million Superdraw — each of which takes home a division one prize of $1,428,571.43.
Despite NSW Lotteries attempts to notify the winner of their dream-come-true news, it wasn’t until this afternoon the woman checked her online account.
Speaking to a NSW Lotteries official immediately after her discovery, the woman couldn’t hide her excitement.
“I can’t believe it. I just can’t believe it. It is amazing. Amazing,” she laughed.
“I’m so, so happy.
“I can’t wait to let my husband know! Oh my goodness. He will be so excited. It has taken the pressure off everything.
“I always play and my husband has always said to me ‘you’re going to win Lotto. You’re such a lucky person so keep getting a ticket’.
“I’ve always said I’m lucky anyway — lucky in life with a wonderful husband and family. So now I’m even luckier!
The woman purchased her winning 36-game QuickPick entry online at thelott.com — Australia’s official lotteries.
The winner plans to use her winnings to pay off her mortgage, clearing the way for holidays and other treats for her family.
