Australia's Nine News reported on Jan. 26 that a mother in Queensland began screaming, shaking and crying in the morning after finding herself winning the $25 million Oz Lotto jackpot last night.
The mother, from Rockhampton, is in her 40s and became one of two lucky winners after a $50 million draw.
Last night, Lotto tried to call the lucky winner, but countless calls went unanswered.
She replied this morning to an unanswered call and couldn't believe her ears.
She said, "Oh my God, oh my God, I'm shaking. ”
She shouted to her family: "We won the lottery, we won $25 million. I want to cry. My family just rushed out of the bedroom. I was in my pajamas. We haven't had breakfast yet. ”
The woman said she saw herself with some missed calls, but when she received scam text messages, her phone was muted.
She said: "I even joked with my husband that it might be Lotto calling me. But that was just a joke. Really, I never dreamed I would win $25 million. ”
On Tuesday, January 25, 2022, the winning numbers for the Oz Lotto 1458 issue were 17, 31, 22, 11, 26, 36 and 4, with supplementary numbers 16 and 6.
The woman said she realized yesterday that there was a $50 million jackpot waiting for her, but only did it at the last minute.
She said: "It will change our lives and I have already held my family three times. We haven't been very happy lately. Now we have to live a good life. ”
The first thing she planned to do was buy a new car for her husband. She said: "He drives a classic car. I'm going to buy myself a new house. ”
"Now I can only think of some practical things. It just doesn't feel real. I think it completely disrupted my day. I had to stare at this ticket all day. ”
Lotterywest will contact the winner of Western Australia who won the other half of the $50 million jackpot ($25 million).
