A New South Wales mum is celebrating a life-changing win after almost missing out on buying her weekly Oz Lotto ticket! The Cobbitty woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, has taken home a staggering $15 million prize – a win she says she almost didn't experience.

It turns out, a simple moment of forgetfulness almost cost her dearly. She revealed that she realised just before the draw closed that she hadn't purchased her usual ticket. “I was rushing around getting dinner ready and completely forgot,” she confessed. “I only remembered at the very last minute and quickly dashed to the local newsagency.”

The relief and excitement when she checked the numbers were overwhelming. “I couldn’t believe my eyes! I checked and rechecked the ticket, thinking there must be some mistake,” she explained. “It was an incredible feeling, a complete whirlwind of emotions.”

A Moment of Near Miss

The near miss highlights just how quickly life can change. Many of us have those moments where we almost skip a routine, and this NSW mum’s story is a powerful reminder of the potential rewards that can come from sticking to those habits. Imagine the regret she would have felt if she hadn't made that last-minute dash to the newsagency!

Plans for the Future

While still processing the enormity of her win, the lucky mum has already started planning how she’ll use the money. “My family’s well-being is my top priority,” she stated. “I want to make sure they are all secure and comfortable for the future. I’m also planning on paying off the mortgage and investing some of the winnings.”

She also intends to treat herself to a well-deserved holiday. “A trip overseas has always been a dream of mine, and now I can finally make it a reality,” she said with a smile.
