A generous Yarra Junction woman has confessed she’s delighted to stand by her promise and pay off her brother’s mortgage after scoring $1 million in a Weekday Windfall draw.
 
The victorious Victorian held one of the two division one winning entries nationally in Weekday Windfall draw 4446, drawn Monday 23 September. Each entry pocketed a clean $1 million.
 
The winning woman took a little longer to realise she had won, admitting that she initially mistook the winning calls and emails she received earlier in the week as a scam.
 
“Oh my god! I’m in total shock,” she said.
 
“I saw your email and calls and I thought it was a scam.
 
“I’m speechless. I need to absorb this. I need a coffee.

“I’ve always said if I win big, I’ll pay off my brother's mortgage and now I can! He won’t see this coming!

“My husband and I have been looking to go on holiday. We might go to Fiji.
 
“He’s in the background now saying this will help us retire! It sure will.
 
“I only play a small ticket each week. I’ve got my set numbers of family birthdays I always use.
 
“Thank you so much. Looks like we’re going out for lunch now!"
 
The winning marked 4-game entry was purchased at Yarra Junction Newsagency, 2454 Warburton Highway, Yarra Junction.
 
Yarra Junction Newsagency manager Matt Sartori said the team were ecstatic to have sold another division one winning entry.
 
“We’re very excited! This is our fifth division one winning entry in four years,” he said.
 
“We’re on a winning streak. Each day we don’t know who’s going to walk in next with a winning ticket.
 
“All of our customers are over the moon and they’re calling us a lucky outlet! I think they’re right because the wins just keep coming.
 
“It’s great to be a part of and we’re very thankful. Knowing that we helped provide $1 million to a family out there is amazing news.
 
“Congratulations to our winning customer and we’re sure you’re as excited as we are! All the best with your prize and thank you for supporting Yarra Junction Newsagency.
 
“Here’s to making more millionaires!”
