A Melbourne mother who won $2.5 million on Saturday night’s TattsLotto said she spent the night tossing and turning after discovering her win.
The Hoppers Crossing woman revealed her reaction when she realised she had become one of four winners from last weekend’s lottery.
“I checked our ticket on Saturday before bedtime and I couldn’t believe it,” she told a representative from TattsLotto.
“Initially, I thought that maybe we had won $2500, but when I ran to show one of my daughters, she told me to check the ticket again,” she said.
“We’ve been playing together for a really long time. I started the ticket about 20 years ago and then my two daughters joined in later on and we’ve been doing it ever since.
“I can retire now! Woo-hoo! It’s so exciting. I can have more time to spend with my family.
The winning mum said she and her daughters danced for joy after discovering the multi-million windfall.
She said she then spent the rest of that night wondering if she was stuck in a dream.
The winning ticket was purchased from Hudsons Lotto and Dry Cleaning in Werribee in Melbourne’s south-west.

The store’s owner Rahul Kapoor said it was an incredible honour to be a part of the woman’s life-changing moment.
“I believe our customers will be overjoyed! It’s not just a win for the lucky ticket holder; it’s a win for the entire community. We expect a lot of excitement and curiosity about who the winner might be,” Kapoor said.
“The last time we sold a division one winning entry was approximately 18 months ago. We took over this store only last year and we’re excited to welcome another win.
“Congratulations to our division one winner! We hope this win brings you joy and fulfillment. May you use this blessing to create wonderful memories and achieve your dreams.”
