A Thomastown woman has admitted that she’d had a prize claim form sitting on her bedside table for years, waiting for the day she won the lottery and thanks to a $4.8 million Set for Life division one win – her pen is at the ready.
The woman scored the division one prize of $20,000 a month for 20 years in Set for Life draw 1908, drawn October 26.
An official from The Lott called the winner, who had been eagerly waiting by the phone to hear the news confirmed.
“I checked my numbers late last night,” she said.
“I was circling my numbers, and then I realised I had circled them all.
“I screamed ‘Oh my god! I have won!’
“The whole night I was so excited I couldn’t sleep.
“This feels like a dream! It’s amazing.”
The winning 4-game marked entry was purchased at Thomastown News & Lotto.
Thomastown News & Lotto owner Vaikunth Gohil said he couldn’t be happier for his winner.
“It’s marvellous!” he said.
“This is our fourth division one win this year, so we are feeling very lucky!”
