“Oh, my goodness. I’m shaking!” the winning son exclaimed when an official from The Lott called with the winning revelation.
“My mum actually asked me to buy the ticket because she couldn’t make it to the newsagency.
“She’ll be very glad she didn’t miss out on a ticket. This will be life-changing for her.
“My hands won’t stop shaking.
“I’ll have to make sure she’s sitting down when I tell her the news. She’s going to lose her mind.
“She’s been playing for 40-odd years, if not more! She usually chooses her numbers, but this one was just a QuickPick.
“Wow, wow, wow. So, this is the biggest Saturday Lotto division one prize ever? Holy!
“My head is spinning. The one day it finally comes in for my mother and she’s the only winner and it’s the biggest one yet! That’s amazing.
“I’m not sure how she’ll use her prize. I’m sure she’ll have a good think about it, and we’ll try and get together for a celebration.
“Thank you so much!”
