LUCKY: The Bright Newsagency’s (back) Janine Bray and (front) Cassandre Ford celebrate a $666,000 win from a ticket bought at the store.
A BRIGHT resident received the shock of her life when she checked her lotto ticket on the weekend.
The woman, who did not wish to be named, said she couldn’t believe her eyes when she checked the results and saw she had won more that $660,000 in Saturday night’s TattsLotto draw.
"I checked my ticket from the week before and it hadn’t won anything," she said.
"When I checked this week’s ticket I remember thinking I’d be happy if I won a division five prize."
Instead the woman discovered that she had all six winning numbers and had won a $666,666.67 division one prize.
"I’m over the moon," she said.
"I’ve been feeling quite numb since we found out, it’s hard to believe.
"We’ve struggled from week to week so this will be the biggest break for us.
"This win will enable us to be mortgage free and we’re planning an overseas holiday.
"We’ve always wanted an overseas holiday but never thought it would happen."
The woman purchased her winning QuickPick ticket from The Bright Newsagency.
