A woman from New South Wales has recently struck it rich, winning a staggering $4.2 million, and attributes her luck to an unusual Facebook post. The superstitious resident from Wellington was at her workplace when representatives from The Lott informed her of her windfall from a Saturday lottery draw.
In a moment of disbelief, she responded, “F—ing hell. Wow. I’m glad you warned me to sit down,” as reported by The Lott. The source of her good fortune seemed to stem from a social media post she had come across, which claimed, “If you watch this until the end, a large sum of money will come your way.” While she initially took it lightly, the outcome has certainly changed her perspective.
Upon receiving her winnings, the woman expressed her plans to use the money to eliminate her existing debts, including her mortgage and car payments. “I’ll be completely debt-free,” she remarked, looking forward to a more secure financial future.
In the recent lottery draw, there were multiple winners across Australia, with three in New South Wales, two in Victoria, and one each in Queensland and Western Australia.
