A Sydney mum who won a $1 million lotto prize today initially doubted her luck when she heard of the win, thinking there was a system error.
The North Sydney woman held one of two division one winning entries in draw 4335 which was drawn yesterday.
“I woke up this morning and I noticed I had an email notifying me to check my Monday and Wednesday lotto ticket,” she said.
“I immediately thought it was some sort of prank or glitch in the system. I’m glad to know it’s not.
“I purchase tickets into the draw occasionally, maybe every couple of weeks because you never know what could happen.”
The woman said she would use her winnings to settle her finances and treat her children to a holiday.
“It’s boring, but I’ll look forward to paying off some bills like many others,” she said.
