$1.42 million lottery win for Wollongong woman on Mother's day

A Dapto grandmother has a new favorite in the family after the Saturday Lotto ticket she received for Mother’s Day delivered her a $1.42 million prize.

The Wollongong woman admitted she was still recovering from the revelation she’s a newly minted millionaire despite discovering her newfound fortune on Sunday morning.

“Oh my god! Woo-hoo!” she chuckled.

“I’m still in shock. I found out yesterday morning when my daughter had come up.

“My grandson had sent it down to me for Mother’s Day.

“It’s definitely an unforgettable Mother’s Day!

“I’ve struggled to sleep last night, and probably won’t sleep at all tonight as well.

“Thank you so much.”
