I scooped £5million Lotto jackpot but went back to WORK because I didn’t want to let my team down
A LOTTERY winner went back to work after scooping £5million.
The woman was getting ready for her shift and had not looked at her numbers when she was phoned to say she had won the jackpot.
She said: “We don’t want to let our teams down so I don’t think we’ll be able to call in sick, but we might do something nice tonight to celebrate.”
The unnamed winner from North Queensland, Australia, bagged the sum today after she was the only division one entry in yesterday’s Oz Lotto draw.
She called the win amazing and said her partner was gob-smacked, adding: “This is a life-changing win for us. We’ve had a tough few months so this will help us so much.”
She said they would spend the money on helping her parents retire and buy a dream home, the reported.
The store owner where she bought the winning ticket said it was the shop’s second division one win in less than a year, with a winner taking home almost £420,000 in August.
To win division one, players need to match all seven numbers in a single game panel.
The winning numbers for yesterday's Oz Lotto were 37, 41, 9, 28, 5, 7, 16.
