A Coast woman is $1.8m richer after the special numbers she’s been playing for “what feels like a thousand years” delivered her a handsome lotto win on the weekend.
The woman, whose winning entry was purchased at TSG in Chancellor Park, held one of the 11 division one-winning entries in Saturday Gold Lotto draw 4409.
Her total prize was $1,818,181.82.
“It all feels so surreal,” the lucky punter said.
“I think I blacked out. I pulled the ticket up and my mind just went into overdrive.
“I’ve never seen so many numbers in sequence.
“It hasn’t quite sunk in yet that I’ve won so much money and I feel like I’m walking around in a dream.
“But honestly, I’m walking on sunshine.”

The winning numbers were 30, 29, 7, 2, 31 and 12, while the supplementary numbers were 9 and 33.
“These have been my numbers for what feels like a thousand years, and I became so used to bagging small wins,” she said.
“It’s such a shock but thank god I stuck with these numbers of mine.
“I’ll park my money for about six months and then I’ll figure out what I want to do.
“The world is my oyster and I’m so grateful.”

The TSG Chancellor Park team said they were over the moon having sold a division one winning entry and wished their winner all the best for the future.
The Lott’s tally of division one winners has now reached 340 so far in 2023.
