$2.14 million Saturday Lotto Winner Took a Fortnight to Discover Her Win
For a couple of weeks, a woman from Erina in the Central Coast of Australia had no idea she’d won a $2.14 million Saturday Lotto prize.
Her ticket was one of 14 division one winning entries for the January 4 Saturday Lotto draw. Each of the lucky winners is celebrating winning $2,142,872.10.
Not a clue
The lucky player doesn’t check her tickets right away. Two weeks had passed without her having a clue she was a millionaire.
There was a pile of old ones to go through at a local store and they were all losers. As is often the case, the best was saved to last. At first though, she thought her Saturday Lotto win was only $2,000.
That left her “excited” but the store team member told her to contact the Lottery. Eager not to lose her ticket, she “raced home” and hid it in a safe place. A Canadian player hid her $2.5 million winning ticket in a cookie jar.
The winner couldn’t stop jogging on the spot when claiming her win and then declared: “Oh my gosh! This is not happening!”
Speaking about her Saturday Lotto win, the anonymous player said: “You have no idea how life-changing this is for me.” There are no immediate plans to quit work but she was worried how it’d be possible to concentrate while working.
New look
It really will be a life-changing win for her as the Saturday Lotto winner says “I can get new glasses and fix my teeth!” A recent £90.909 Postcode Lottery winner wanted a fancy haircut. After confessing that is “sick of renting” and will buy a house with her winnings.
An even larger amount could be won this evening with a $70 million Oz Lotto draw. It’s the fourth-biggest jackpot in Oz Lotto history after a run of six draws without a winner of the top prize. If the jackpot is won by just a single ticket, it’ll be the largest amount won by an individual winner.
