A Melbourne woman has scored a massive $50million to herself snapping up the biggest OzLotto windfall of the year.
The mum from Cranbourne, Melbourne was the only division one ticket holder to win in the OzLotto draw 1494, drawn on Tuesday.
But the regular player only realised on Friday morning that she had the winning numbers.
‘I’m shaking and my head is spinning! I can’t believe this,’ she told an official at the Lott. ‘I only ever win $15 on a lottery ticket, so $50 million is out of this world.’
‘I’ve been playing for a few years, but I never expected this to happen to me,’ the winning ticket holder said (pictured, a stock image)

Officials were not able to contact her at first as the ticket was not registered, so the onus was on her to front up and collect her winnings.
She got around to looking up the winning numbers on Friday, crossing out the numbers on her ticket, one by one.
‘I couldn’t believe it when I found out there was only one division one winner in Oz Lotto and that they purchased their ticket from Hampton Park. I thought to myself, ‘It can’t be me!’, she said.
‘Since discovering the news, I haven’t stopped shaking like a leaf.’
