$10m Tuesday night lottery jackpot up for grabs
Last time the $10 million prize was won, the Queensland winner showed up to work the next day, reluctant to even pull a sickie in case she let her colleagues down.
There’s a big lotto prize on offer after the winning numbers eluded players last week.
The prize money is to the tune of $10 million after nobody scored last Tuesday’s $2 million on offer, causing the cash to climb in value.
A $10 million prize was last snapped up a month ago, on February 15. This prize was scored by a Queensland player.
In 2021, there were 18 division one winning entries that collectively took home more than $279 million in prize money.
Six of these wins were in Victoria, five in New South Wales, three in Western Australia, two in Queensland and one each in South Australia and the Northern Territory
In 2022 three entries have already scored a division one prize in the lottery. Two of those players were from Queensland and one was from Western Australia.
Despite discovering she’d become an overnight multi-millionaire after winning division one in Oz Lotto, a young Queensland woman from Sarina still planned to rock up to work the next day.
“I haven’t had a chance to look at my ticket yet. I’ve just been getting ready for work,” she said to the official from The Lott who informed her she had won $10 million.
“Oh my god! Holy sh**! That’s amazing. We’re multi-millionaires! My partner’s sitting beside me, and he’s heard what you’ve said too. He’s gobsmacked!
“This is a life changing win for us. It’s come at the best time! We’ve had a tough few months, so this will help us so much.
“You dream of things like this happening, but you never imagine it actually happening.
“I always read stories about your winners and think about that happening to me and what I’d do with the prize and now it has happened to me and it’s so strange! What the hell!
The woman revealed she would still head into work because she didn’t want to disappoint her colleagues or her boss.
“Unfortunately, we have to go to work today. We don’t want to let our teams down, so I don’t think we’ll be able to call in sick, but we might do something nice tonight to celebrate,” she said.
“This really means everything for us. It means we can get our dream home and I can help my parents retire. Which is a dream come true!
“It’ll help us live an amazing life. I’m not sure what we’ll do with the rest. We never expected to be multi-millionaires!”
