A Kellyville grandmother is ready to play Santa this Christmas by spoiling her loved ones after scoring a festive $1 million in last night’s Weekday Windfall draw.
The New South Wales resident held the only division one winning entry nationally in draw 4482, drawn Monday 16 December 2024 and pocketed $1 million.
The generous winner shared she was over the moon while speaking to an official from The Lott.
“That’s fabulous! That’s lovely!” she said.
“I can’t believe it. I’ve been playing for about 30 years, playing the same numbers.
“This has made my Christmas! It’s going to make the whole family’s Christmas.
“I’ve got lots of children and grandchildren, so the money won’t go astray. I’ll be able to help with their mortgages and other things.
“What a lovely surprise. This really is great news.
“I never answer phone calls, but when I saw your emails and texts, I thought ‘What is going on?’.
“You are just amazing. Thank you so much.”
Her winning marked 12-game entry was purchased from Kellyville Plaza Newsagency, Shop 21, 90 Wrights Road, Kellyville.
Kellyville Plaza Newsagencymanager Vijay Sarma said the team was thrilled to help make a local customer’s dream come true.
“My team and I are very excited to hear the great news that our store has sold a division one winning entry in Weekday Windfall!” he said.
“We’ll be sharing the wonderful news with all our customers. They will be thrilled, and I’m sure they’ll be hoping it will be them next time.
“The last time we sold a division one prize was in 2019 when we sold a winning Set for Life ticket worth $4.8 million.
“What an amazing way to finish off the year by making someone a millionaire. We love seeing the smiles and joy people experience when they win any amount of money, and we can’t wait to make many more of our customers’ dreams come true.
“We at Kellyville Plaza Newsagency would like to wish our winner all the best for the future and hope they enjoy their newfound riches!
