A family lottery winner has revealed the first decision she made after becoming a new billionaire.
The woman from the Lake Illawarra region, about 100 kilometers south of Sydney, said: “I have to call mom and dad.” I’ll make sure they’re seated after winning $2 million in Saturday’s lottery.
The anonymous New South Wales resident was one of 10 division one winners in Saturday’s draw 4515.
Each division-winning entry won $2 million.
The winner was stunned when The Lott contacted him after initially rejecting the calls.
“Shit, I’ve been ignoring your phone calls all day,” he said.
‘I’m shaking. Oh my god, I can’t stop smiling and laughing.’
He said he had just checked his ticket and revealed what he would do with his new fortune.

The winner revealed that she will buy a house with her winnings to be closer to her parents. “We have always talked about it but now it can be a reality” (archive image)
‘I can buy a house and I won’t have a mortgage. I can’t believe it.’
She said she can now approach her parents, or they can approach her.
“We’ve always talked about it but now it can be a reality.”
The ecstatic winner said it will be a slightly awkward conversation with her father about how she chose her numbers.
“Dad will be incredulous when I tell him I won on a QuickPick because he’s played the same numbers for years and never won anything like this.”
She was worried about how she will be able to keep the exciting news to herself.
‘Oh God. I don’t know how I will keep quiet tomorrow; I can never keep secrets.
