South Australian woman has a new multi-millionaire after miraculous lotto win bags her $3.3 million

A beachside Adelaide woman spent almost three weeks unaware that she had won $3.3 million.

The Christie Downs winner had bought a lotto ticket from Colonnades Newsagency, and held one of the six division one winning entries in the national draw on 15 February.

The winning numbers were 18, 41, 8, 19, 31 and 43, while the supplementary numbers were 9 and 11.

But the Adelaide resident only remembered to check her ticket three weeks later, and was shocked to discover she had pocketed $3,333,333.34.

“I found out a few days ago and I was overwhelmed to say the least. I couldn’t believe my eyes,” the Adelaide resident told Lott Official.

“I haven’t got much sleep since I found out!”

“It’s wonderful — it took a little longer for me to check my ticket, so I had no idea pretty much this whole time.

“I was just going ‘It’s not true. It’s not true.’ I just sat on it and sat on it until it sunk in.

She said she planned to spoil her family with the winnings.

“It’s the perfect opportunity for me to help my family. That’s what matters.

“That’s always what’s most important. Helping others and looking after family members.”

Colonnades Newsagency manager Vanessa Griffin said the outlet had been celebrating the milestone and was ecstatic to hear their mystery winner had come forward.

“My first thought was ‘Wow!’ It’s so exciting,” she said.

“The entire team was unbelievably excited over the news of the win.

“We wish the division one winner all the very best and a huge congratulations on this life changing win!

“We hope we have another division one winner again soon!”

The Lott’s division one winning tally has now reached 325 so far in this financial year, including 36 won by SA Lotteries customers.
