A woman has revealed that she “screamed with joy” after finding out she had won a whopping $1.6 million in a lottery draw.
The woman, from the small town of Gayndah in the North Burnett region of Queensland, became an overnight millionaire this weekend.
She woke up on Sunday to the happy news that she was one of three Division 1 entries in Saturday’s Gold Lotto Draw 4371.
The lucky woman pocketed a total of $1,691,043 and revealed that she “did absolutely nothing” all day after her big win was confirmed.
‘Oh my God! Thank you! I really needed some confirmation,” she said when an official from The Lott called to confirm her huge windfall.
“I found out my win on Sunday morning and did nothing all day because I was so stunned.
“It’s not something that’s very easy to understand.”

The Queenslander relented she’d been through some tough times lately, but the win had made it all worth it.
She plans to put some of the money into a new shed to house her car.
‘I can’t avoid it! You never expect something like this to happen to you,” she said.
‘I’m going to look for a shed now! How exciting!’
The winner purchased her winning 24-game QuickPick entry from Gayndah Newsagency.
