Mount Hutton woman is in tears after discovering life changing lottery win

A Mount Hutton woman has woken up to a wondrous $800,000 win in last night’s Monday & Wednesday Lotto draw after using her late mum’s cherished lottery numbers on her entry.

This morning, an official from The Lott reached out to the long-time player who had just checked her ticket and was flushed with emotion.

“We’ve been laughing, crying!” she said. “It’s unreal. I was in shock. I checked my ticket this morning and at first, I thought I’d won $805. I thought it was enough to keep me going! “Then I thought, hang on. There are more zero’s at the end! I couldn’t believe it.

“While I’ve been playing Lotto for many years, I’ve been playing these exact numbers consistently in the last six months

. I chose these numbers because of my mum. “She’s no longer with us, and I wanted to keep her legacy going. I’m sure she’s looking down at me today!

“I’ve already phoned my children and told them the winning news.

They’re absolutely delighted!” The merry mother shared she couldn’t wait to retire after decades of working and go on a long-awaited overseas holiday with her family.

“I’ve wanted to retire for a very long time, but I’ve always said I’d do it after my mortgage is paid off in full.

My job can be stressful but very rewarding! Now that retirement dream is a reality,” she exclaimed.

“I’ve always wanted to pay for my family and grandchildren to go on a holiday too. So, now I can plan to go a big family holiday!”
