“Stop it. Did you say you’re calling from The Lott?” the newly minted multi-millionaire questioned lottery officials.
“Oh my god, oh my god,” the Victorian woman continued.
“I am so sorry. I can’t stop crying. I can’t even hold the phone right now. I can’t stop shaking.
“I am so emotional. I need to hang up this phone and just break down.
“We will definitely help our family.
“I am sure we will go on a few holidays too. But otherwise, I am not sure. I can’t think straight.”
It comes as later this week Powerball jackpots to an impressive $80 million after nobody won last week’s $60 million top prize.
