Shock as Sydney grandmother scoops $7 million lottery win
A Sydney grandmother could not be more thrilled with her lottery win of $7 million as she says she plans to sing and dance in the street after the win.
She was informed of her new-found wealth by Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw officials.
The grandmother won the entire Jackpot Prize, which totalled $6,870,000.
"My husband is still working, he isn't going to believe this. He can finally retire!" the woman told lottery officials over the phone, according to MSN.
"This news has made my day, my year and we will have the best Christmas of our life!
"We will drink champagne and dance to celebrate!"
The woman bought the winning ticket at Foodworks in Tennyson Point, and the owner of the store, Mohammed Nawaz, is thrilled as well.
"We've sold a Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize in the past and a division one winning entry in Monday and Wednesday Lotto but this is by far the biggest prize we've ever sold," said Mr Nawaz.
"We are thrilled. We will be telling all of our customers and we'll organise a celebration with all of our staff.
"We wish the winner all the best with her prize."
However, if you plan on going out and trying to get the winning ticket, Oz Lotteries have warned punters that the chance of winning the jackpot is one in 18,385,876.
