A Greenvale woman was left hyperventilating after her first ever ticket in Set for Life landed her $20,000 a month for the next 20 years.
 
The hard-working Melburnian held the only division one winning entry nationally in Set for Life draw 3303, drawn Wednesday 21 August 2024.
 
She can look forward to a total division one prize of $4.8 million, paid in monthly instalments of $20,000 a month for the next 20 years.
 
The victorious Victorian confessed she’d normally check her tickets the morning after a draw but had completely forgotten today, leaving her in complete shock when we caught her by surprise with the life-changing phone call.
 
“Did I really win that? Oh my god!” she screamed.
 
“This will change my life completely. Oh my god. I can’t believe this.

“I can retire! I can leave my job!
 
“I’ve got tears in my eyes. I can’t see anything.
 

“It’s crazy because I don’t normally play Set for Life. I normally play Powerball each week, and then, in the most recent draw, I got a small win, so I used it to buy this Set for Life ticket.

 
“I can’t wait to call my husband and kids. I think they’ll scream, and my husband will be the same as me, he’ll say, ‘Let’s quit!’.
 
“We’re at retirement age so it’s come at a perfect time.
 
“I’m going to take my whole family on an overseas holiday!
 
“If you were here, I would give you a big hug!”
