Canberra woman wins $2.5m in lotto draw

A Casey woman has won $2.5 million win in the weekend’s Saturday Lotto draw.

The Lott says the unnamed Canberra resident held one of the eight division one winning entries nationally in the Saturday night draw. Each division one winning entry won $2.5 million.

“I completely forgot that I had even entered. I play now and then when there’s a big draw on, so I don’t always check right away,” the woman told The Lott when they called about her big win.

“I just got the smallest entry you could choose for a QuickPick, which was six games. I’m completely blown away.”

“I’ll be able to buy a house!” she said. “I’d love to go on a holiday to the coast, too.”
