A woman from Erina has admitted she couldn’t stop jogging on the spot in excitement today after discovering she became a newly-minted Saturday Lotto multi-millionaire two weeks ago.
 
The Central Coast resident held one of the 14 division one winning entries nationally in Saturday Lotto draw 4535, drawn Saturday 4 January 2025. Each entry scored $2,142,872.10.
 
“Oh my gosh! This is not happening!” she laughed when her prize was confirmed.

“Oh my gosh! I’m so happy! I can’t stop jogging on the spot.
 
“I went to check some old lottery tickets today, and for each one it kept saying, 'No win, no win’. Then I scanned the very last one I had and at first, I thought it said I’d won $2,000!
 
"I was already excited about $2,000, but then the store team member told me to contact The Lott, and here we are now! 
 
“I have raced home, because I was really worried that I was going to lose the ticket at the shops. I’ve hid it in a safe place! 
 
“I had absolutely no idea for two weeks. Wow!
 
“You have no idea how life-changing this is for me. 
 
“What a shock. I now have to continue working and I don’t know how I’m going to concentrate.
 
“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”
 
The newly-crowned multi-millionaire revealed her initial plans for the prize, beginning with a visit to the optometrist and the orthodontist. 
 
“I can get new glasses and fix my teeth!” she shared.
 
“I’m also sick of renting, so I’ll be buying a house!
 
“Oh my gosh. I can’t believe it. It’s so exciting!”
 
The division one winning entry was purchased at Nextra Erina Market, Shop T094 Erina Fair, 620-658 Terrigal Drive, Erina.

Nextra Erina Market manager Katy McHugh said she was over the moon to hear her mystery division one winner had checked their ticket and come forward. 
 
“I messaged my co-workers when I heard the good news and we’re all so excited!” she said.

“We have put some posters up already and we’ve been carefully checking all tickets that come through!
 
“We’re so happy to hear our division one winner has now checked their ticket and discovered their $2.14 million; what a dream come true for them!
 
“Congratulations to our winner and thank you for supporting Nextra Erina Market!”
