A woman in locked-down Fairfield, in Sydney's south-west, has discovered she's a millionaire two weeks after a Lotto draw.

The woman held the only division one winning entry across Australia in the July 21 draw, but only just thought to check her ticket.

"Because of the whole lockdown thing here in Sydney, I hadn't checked it. I have been thinking of a million other things, so I just thought to check it then," she told the Lott.
