The grandmother learned of her life-changing news while she was walking into work and says she was ‘shaking like a leaf’.
‘I don’t know how I am going to go to work today but I will because I won’t be doing it much longer,’ she said after receiving the call.
‘I’ve struggled all my life and I got home from work last night and I thought to myself ”all I want to do is retire”.’
The winning numbers in Monday’s Lotto draw were 38, 18, 43, 30, 45 and 25, while the supplementary numbers were 37 and 12.
‘I will retire so I can spend more time with my children and grandchild. I also want to help them out as much as I can,’ she said.
‘I’m going to buy myself a brand new car. I’ve never owned a new car in my life and my car is falling apart.
‘It has just come at a great time as I was so ready to retire!’
The grandmother purchased her ticket online from thelott.com.
