A CASUARINA mum is busily planning for life as a millionaire after discovering today she was the mystery TattsLotto winner, nearly two weeks after the draw.
The woman held one of the six division one winning entries nationally in TattsLotto draw 4101, drawn November 7.
Each division one winning entry took home a prize of $1,028,920.70.
Officials from the Lott had been unable to make contact with the Casuarina woman despite numerous attempts to phone her with the life-changing news.
She was finally got a hold of on Friday morning and initially couldn’t comprehend the news.
“This isn’t a joke?” she questioned.
“Oh my god. I’m a millionaire now!
“I had seen that I’d had a few missed calls, but I usually don’t answer calls from private numbers.
“I only realised I had won when I went into the outlet this morning to put my entries on for the next few weeks and they told me they couldn’t pay my prize.
“I called you guys thinking I’d have to complain about a problem with my account, only to hear I’ve won a lot of money!
“I can’t believe it!”
When asked how she planned to enjoy life as a newly-minted millionaire, the loving mum said she couldn’t wait to tell her family.
“I’ve got kids so I’ll be having a chat to them about it and see what I can do to help them, but I think I’ll stop renting and buy myself a house outright!” she declared.
“I think I’ll buy myself a new car too! My car is 10 years old, and it’s done far too many kilometres. Just this week someone crashed into me and ruined my paint job.”
