Congrats to this lucky Coastie!
The winner of the mystery lotto ticket purchased at The Entrance has been identified as a lucky Central Coast woman.
The lucky local scored a cool $2.5 million in Saturday’s lotto, holding one of the two division one winning tickets nationally.
The winner was an unregistered player and hasn’t let the ticket out of her sight since checking it.
“I’ve been carrying around my ticket like it’s pure gold. I’m petrified of losing it. It’s certainly wonderful news,” she told The Lott.
The win comes just in time for Christmas, with the unnamed woman already brewing spending ideas.
“I’ll be able to share it with the family and really help the kids,” she told The Lott.
“I’m thinking we’ll do a big family holiday eventually. I would love to go overseas some place nice. Maybe Europe.”
The Entrance Newsagency owner, Blake Gavljak, said news of the big win was spreading quickly around town, and his family-owned business had started celebrations.
“Before the weekend, we had never been fortunate in the 10 years that we have owned the business to sell a division one winning entry,” Gavljak said.
“…we have seen a lot of customers be one number off winning division one, but this is the first time we have had the opportunity to be a part of changing a customer’s life.”
