Australian couple win $1million Lotto prize, initially thought it was a scam

An South Australian woman who won a $1million dollar Lotto prize says her husband was reluctant to believe her because he thought it was a scam.

The woman purchased the ticket for the Monday X Lotto draw and realised she was a winner on Tuesday morning after logging into The Lott app.

‘Something came across me last night to put a ticket on for Monday & Wednesday X Lotto,’ she told lottery officials on Tuesday morning.

‘Funnily enough, I also won $1000 on an Instant Scratch-Its ticket last week.’

‘I woke up my husband in a frenzy, and I said, “I think we’ve won a million dollars!”. He turned to me and said, “that sounds like a scam!’,” she said.

‘We were going back and forth with each other, and I was telling him that it’s not a scam.

 ‘We even looked up the Monday & Wednesday X Lotto draw from last night [Monday night] to see if the winning numbers matched ours.’

She now plans to use the money to renovate their home and buy a caravan. 

‘We (would) love to buy a brand-new caravan and travel around Australia,’ she said.

There were three division one winning entries in the Monday X Lotto drawn on Monday night.
