A WOLLERT woman is celebrating a life-changing $2.5 million TattsLotto win and she’s making sure her beloved dog will also share in the spoils.
The jubilant lady held one of eight division one winning entries nationally in TattsLotto draw 4621, drawn on Saturday, November 1, taking home an incredible $2,554,585.80.
While she plans to retire as she approaches her 70th birthday, the lucky winner said her four-legged companion will be the ultimate beneficiary of her windfall.
“I’m turning 70 soon, and I think it’s time to finally finish work. I’m currently telling my dog that we’ve won Lotto! He’s going to have the biggest inheritance,” she said.
The thrilled winner said she had no idea she’d become a multi-millionaire until she finally picked up a call from lottery officials after missing several earlier attempts.
“Oh my god! What did you just say? I’ve won $2.5 million? Wait! I need to write this down. I had absolutely no idea that I had won! I usually receive an email if it’s a winner, and I’ve been busy working from home, so I haven’t had time to check my ticket,” she recalled in shock.
Laughing through tears, she described the moment as “the best phone call ever.”
With retirement on the horizon and her westie’s luxurious future assured, the Wollert woman said she plans to take time to “let it all sink in” and enjoy her newfound freedom.
