Rushing to the airport, the winner wasn't sure if the message she received about the win was real
After spending 11 days abroad, Murray Bridge woman returned to Australia. During her entire trip she questioned whether or not the message she received right before leaving was real and whether or not she indeed had won one of the life-enhancing Saturday X Lotto prizes. Oh my gosh! It’s unbelievable, the lucky winner responded when contacted by an official from The Lott. I missed your initial call over a week ago as I was packing to go to the airport! Then as I was running out the door, I quickly listened to the messages on the answering machine. I wasn’t sure if it was real or not, but I was stunned, the fortunate lottery player said. She admitted to seeing Facebook posts that the lottery is looking for the winner and immediately thought, It's me! Interestingly, the Murray Bridge woman said she used her late mother's numbers. I’ve been playing them for over 30 years since she passed away, and she would’ve been playing them long before that, the woman said. Moreover, the winner pointed out: It’s very special. It feels like she’s shining down on me. Asked about her plans for her newfound fortune, the lucky woman said she will help some of her friends and travel more.
