Lotto win in Wyndham

A Wyndham Vale woman is $100,000 richer after discovering she won the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw.

The resident said it had been a “whirlwind couple of weeks” for her family and upon being informed of her win, she initially believed it was a joke.

“Sometimes it feels like the weight of the world is on your shoulders, but this is just incredible, this news has just made my day,” she said.

“I’ll be putting a large chunk of the win straight towards paying down my mortgage, then I’ll look into completing some renovations we’ve been thinking about.”

The winning entry was purchased at Manor Lakes News and Lotto and owner Rajiv Sharma said he was over the moon for the resident.

“It’s an amazing prize, it’s a $2.20 ticket and she bought seven random tickets and she won $100,000,” Mr Sharma said.

“It’s really good and I am really really happy for them, it’s so exciting.”

Mr Sharma said it’s the seventh first prize sold at his store.

“I feel very lucky that we can fulfil somebody else’s dream, just to help it out, it feels very nice being the medium,” he said.

“We’ve [also] had more than 37 second division wins in the last five years.

“Some people would call us a lucky store.”
