A Melton resident won big last weekend with a $4.8 million lotto prize.
The local mum held the only division one winning entry in Set for Life draw 2480 on Saturday May 21.
She said her son had predicted she’d win millions in a dream he had years ago.
“He woke up one morning and said, ‘I had dream about you. You won $15 million’,
“So it was predicted, but he just got the figure wrong,” the winner said.
“This is amazing. I’m still living in the land of I don’t believe it,
“I’m really, really excited. Confused, excited, everything!”
The mum said she’d share the prize with her family members who inspired her entry.
“I normally play a four-game entry using family birthdates, and the whole family will benefit from this prize,” she said.
“I was wanting to go on a trip overseas next year. I wasn’t sure how to finance it, so this is very handy, I might keep going around the world!”
Her winning marked 4-game entry was purchased at Melton Lotto & TSG, 293 High Street, Melton.
Melton Lotto & TSG owner Phong Thai said he was excited to continue his outlet’s winning streak.
“We’ve had three division one wins since 2021, so we’ve done it again,
“There must be some magic in the store, my customers call me Mr Lucky and it’s great to hit another jackpot,” he said.
