The Young woman won the guaranteed First Prize of $100,000 in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10326, drawn Thursday October 24, 2019.
Speaking with a NSW Lotteries official this morning, the winner shared why it took her several weeks to check her $100,000 ticket.
"Gosh I am a bit better now," she laughed. "I am over the moon!
"I've only ever won $10, maybe $20 dollars so this is a lot more than that.
"I have been playing for almost 40 years, so I am glad I have finally won.
"I never thought I'd win a major prize, so it often takes me a while to check my tickets. I won't be making that mistake again.
"I can't believe I've had a ticket worth $100,000 in my bag this whole time."
When asked how she planned to enjoy her windfall, the ecstatic winner shared she can't wait to travel around Australia.
"I will probably go on a road trip around Australia and do some renovations on the house," she said.
"Although I do need some time to think, so who knows!
"I will celebrate when the money is in my account. I might go out for a nice dinner."
The stoked winner purchased her winning entry at Donges Supa IGA. Manager Wendy Silk said she was thrilled the winner had come forward and claimed their prize.
"It's fantastic she's discovered she won. We've been hoping our winner would come forward soon, so it's great to hear she has," Wendy said. "Congratulations to our winner!
"Hopefully we sell some more of those major prizes to our customers soon."
