“I feel sick!”: Victor Harbor woman rendered sleepless over million-dollar Monday & Wednesday X Lotto win
A Victor Harbor woman revealed she only fell asleep at 4am after discovering her momentous million-dollar win in Monday & Wednesday X Lotto.
The South Australian resident held one of the three division one winning entries in Monday & Wednesday X Lotto draw 4219, drawn Wednesday 21 September 2022 and takes home $1 million.
“Oh, I feel sick. I can’t believe it!” she laughed when an official from The Lott confirmed her windfall.
“I haven’t been able to sleep - I didn’t get to sleep until 4am.
“This is a reasonable amount to win, and I can’t believe I won it.
“It’s beautiful. I’ve put the lottery ticket in the safe for safekeeping!
“I’ve always said, if I won the lottery, I’d be happy with a million dollars and I’d love for someone else to win in the same draw. I wouldn’t want to be greedy, so I’d share it around.
“That’s exactly what has happened – how bizarre.
“I’ll have to make a few phone calls and tell my family about the win.
“It’s mind-boggling!”
When asked how she planned to enjoy her life-changing win, the gleeful retiree said she would put it towards her house.
“I’d love to buy some things for the house and make it nice and pretty!” she said.
“Maybe I’ll do some travelling around Australia too.
“How lovely!”
Her winning 6-game QuickPick was purchased at Chit Chat Newsagency, Shop 8 / Victor Harbor Central, 27 Torrens Street, Victor Harbor.
Chit Chat Newsagency joint owner Jason Mann was thrilled to hear his customer had scored a division one prize.
“This is fantastic news for the winner and the town is incredibly excited,” he said.
“It has been roughly seven years since our last division one winner, so we were ready to have another big win. We have sold about five division one entries in our time as owners.
“We hope the winner can really use this money and it helps change them and their family’s lives for the better!”
