The woman had the only division one-winning entry nationally in draw 4477, drawn Wednesday, December 4. She can look forward to a neat $1 million.
The shocked woman could hardly believe it when discovering her newfound millionaire status.
“I can’t believe this. This has totally changed my life,’’ she said.
“I’ve been playing my dad’s special numbers for 10 whole years. I just kept playing his numbers because he loved lotteries.
‘’He won a couple of thousands of dollars with his numbers, but nothing like this.’’
The woman’s father started his numbers because he used to play football, and they were his special football numbers.
“I’d like to think that this win is because of him, and that he’s looking down at me today,’’ she said.
“Things like this don’t happen to me. I can’t believe this has happened.’’
With her division one prize arriving just in time for Christmas, the grateful woman plans to use her win to support those around her.
“I’ll get the prize before Christmas. It’s a Christmas miracle,” she said.
“I’ll be able to help family while everyone’s doing it tough right now.’’
Her winning marked System 7 entry was purchased via The Lott app — the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
The winning numbers in Weekday Windfall draw 4477 on Wednesday, December 4, were 42, 4, 22, 17, 36, 35, while the supplementary numbers were 44 and 5.
