For the third time in as many weeks a Coastie has had a big win in the lottery.
Earlier a Norah Head man won $100,000, a Kangy Angy man won $12M and now a Summerland Point woman has collected $1.2M from last Saturday’s Lotto draw 4511.
And also this week, a Woy Woy woman quickly snapped out of her post-holiday blues after returning from an overseas vacation to discover she’d won $100,000 in a Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw on September 23 while she was away.
Only days before Saturday’s draw the Summerland Point winner was joking with her daughter that she was going to win big one day.
“I checked my ticket on Saturday night and I couldn’t stop saying, Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!,” the woman said.
“I didn’t sleep that whole night. I’m so glad it’s real – I could see it on my app, but I’ve been stressing that it was some sort of trick.
“I’m feeling better now that you’re ringing,” she said to The Lott representative who rang with the good news.
“It’s funny because we always talk about what we’d do if we won the lottery. In fact, I’ve been talking about it since I was 25.”
The Woy Woy woman who won $100,000 in the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw on September 23 said she’d never won anything in her life.
“I’d only arrived home from holidays a few days, and when I was going through my mail, I noticed a letter from The Lott,”she said.
“The letter was telling me to check my tickets which I thought was odd, and then I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
“I’ve never even won a chook raffle in my life, let alone anything near $100,000.
“It’s huge for me. I’m a retiree and I could really use the money to get a bit more comfortable.”
