The winning entry was purchased at the Dubbo West Post Office.
Owner Lea Callan said she was thrilled to have sold her top division winning ticket.
‘We couldn’t believe it! We thought the news might have been a fake email,” she said.

Winners who have lost their lucky ticket can still claim their prize, even if they are not a registered player.
The Lott encourages customers to fill out their Lost and Damaged Ticket form if they believe they have won a lost ticket.
