Lotto Cash Makes Mother's Day

A woman from Perth, Australia, made a snap decision at the weekend and bought herself a lotto ticket as treat for Mother's Day. It turned out to be a gift she will remember for the rest of her life because her impromptu purchase scooped her an AUD$ 1 million win in the Australia Monday Lotto draw.

"I was in a bit of a rush on the day I purchased it but made a quick decision to treat myself," the woman said, but admitted she never expected to win such a large prize.

"I have been in complete shock and the news still hasn’t sunk in," she added.

The Monday, May 19, 2014, Australia Lotto drawing also has an estimated AUD$ 1 million jackpot, but Saturday's Australia Lotto drawing boasts a more sizeable prize because the jackpot is AUD$ 21 million.
