'We don't play that often, but on a whim he went into the store and got me this ticket.

He must have been in the right place at the right time.

'We work really hard for our money, so this will go a long way.'

The thrilled mum revealed that the winning ticket was the best gift she'd ever received.

'It still doesn't feel real.

I won't believe it until I see it in my bank account. Then I think it will feel really really real.'

She said part of the jaminan bpkb mobil cepat money would go towards a kitchen renovation and a tropical family holiday once international borders open.

'I've been wanting to do it ever since we moved into the house but having the money to do it was an unobtainable goal.

It would have taken me 15 years to save that much.

'Some people might think with that amount of money I could buy a whole new house, but I think I'll start with a whole new kitchen.

'I've always wanted to take the family on holiday somewhere where we can relax.

'Somewhere we can sit on a tropical island and just do nothing.' 

The winning entry was purchased at newsXpress Melton, in Melbourne's west.
