Granny loses $10m winning Lotto ticket

A grandmother who lost a $10 million winning Lotto ticket has claimed her prize almost a month after the draw.

The Perth granny purchased her ticket with a Lotterywest membership so she was contacted about the win, despite misplacing the ticket.

“I buy a few Lotto tickets every week and somehow I had mixed this particular one up with some receipts and stashed them in an old envelope,” the granny said.

“I couldn’t believe it… never it a million years did I expect it was worth $10 million!

“I couldn’t stop crying – dreams do come true.”

She said sharing the prize money with her children and grandchildren is on the top of her list.

“I really haven’t had a chance for the news to sink in but my family are number one,” she said.

“Then maybe a few home renovations and enjoying time in my garden.”

The winning ticket was bought from newsXpress Centrepoint Midland for an OZ Lotto jackpot on March 27, 2018.
