A Devonport woman is thrilled to be making her dream of owning a place to call her own a reality after landing a million-dollar win in Weekday Windfall.
The Tasmanian held the only division one winning entry nationally in Weekday Windfall draw 4427, drawn Friday 9 August 2024 and took home a total division one prize of $1 million.
The newly-minted millionaire shared she had been trying to fathom her newfound treasure for a couple of days since discovering the winning news late Friday night.
“I had a look on Friday night, but it still hasn’t sunk in. I woke up on Saturday like nothing happened and went to work all weekend but deep down I’m in shock.
“It’s so wonderful. I’ve only told my sister and my parents, and we had a champagne on Saturday night to celebrate!
“I bought a ticket into the last Powerball draw, and I had won division nine on the ticket so decided to use those winnings to purchase a ticket into Weekday Windfall. Now look what’s happened!
“I haven’t told my kids yet; I don’t think they’ll believe me.
“This win will one hundred percent go towards a house. I thought I would never be able to own my own home but now I’ll be able to! It’s so exciting.
“I’ve been renting my entire life and now I won’t need to!”
