Late Night Phone Call Reveals Record $100 million Oz Lotto Win
Late Night Phone Call Reveals Record $100 million Oz Lotto Win
Imagine receiving a late-night phone call telling you you’ve just won $100 million. That’s what happened on Tuesday February 4 to the winner of the Oz Lotto jackpot.
The lucky winner is a woman from Elizabeth Hills in Western Sydney. Her win is the largest ever individual success for an Oz Lotto player.
The lottery winner had just been watching ‘Married at First Sight’ and was getting ready to go to bed. Never did she imagine her life was about to change forever.
Her Oz Lotto ticket had been registered so the lottery company knew exactly who the $100 million winner was. The Elizabeth Hills resident had not seen the results so was a bit shocked and worried when the phone rang at 10pm.
“Why are you calling this late?”
“Who is this? Why are you calling this late?” was her initial response. Then the amazing news was told to her and all she could say was: “‘What the hell! Can you repeat that? Oh my god! Don’t lie to me!”
Then she began to wonder if someone was playing a prank on her. The shocked Oz Lotto winner added: “Internally, I’m sweating bullets! Are you sure this is real? Oh my gosh. I still can’t believe it.” A $20 million Oz Lotto winner found out they’d won at 3am.
Give it a go
The winner only buys tickets when there’s a large jackpot. When seeing there was a $100 million Oz Lotto top prize, she decided to “give it a go” and the rest is history.
Already the Oz Lotto winner has decided her working days are over even though she loves her job. Last year a man won a $50 million Oz Lotto jackpot and immediately quit his job.
Buying her own house is also going to happen. Additionally, the delighted player says she’ll treat herself more and “go on some holidays.”
Her final words were: “Thank you so much. I probably won’t sleep tonight. I’ll have to check again in the morning to make sure I’m not dreaming!”
