She was contacted by The Lott on Thursday morning, prompting her to say: 'It's just amazing! It's just so good!'

The woman said she 'only plays every now and then' and often 'spends my time daydreaming about how good it would be to win'.
'I thought about how nice it would be to win on my birthday, so I bought the ticket on Monday and didn't think much of it,' she said.
'Last night I was having dinner with my boyfriend, and he was joking that if he won Powerball this week, he'd treat me to the best birthday weekend ever.
'He reminded me I should check my ticket and so I did. I couldn't believe it when I saw all my numbers match the winning numbers.
'I checked it again and asked him to check it. It was amazing. I didn't sleep all last night. I've got a headache now, but it's worth it.
'I'll remember this day for my entire lifetime.'
The thrilled winner revealed she would spend her fortune on investing in a property for herself and her boyfriend to live in.

'My boyfriend and I have been thinking about buying a house, but it has always been so hard as it is so expensive,' she explained.
'But now we can start looking to buy a place. We can look for our dream home.
'Probably only something small just for us but it will be amazing to have our own space.'
The winning numbers in Monday and Wednesday's Lotto draw 4023 on Wednesday, were 14, 27, 18, 20, 1 and 36 while the supplementary numbers were 4 and 15.
