A Cobbitty woman has confessed she's still reeling after nearly skipping her weekly Oz Lotto ticket, only to end up winning the entire $15 million jackpot in last night's draw.
The New South Wales resident held the only division one winning entry nationally in Oz Lotto draw 1645, drawn Tuesday 26 August 2025 and pocketed a staggering $15 million.
When we called, the winning woman had no idea she had become an overnight multi-millionaire and was left completely stunned by the news.
"Oh my gosh! I'm shaking!" she cried.
"You're kidding me?! Did you really say $15 million? I can't stop shaking.
"Oh my god. You know what's crazy? I play Oz Lotto every week, but I almost didn't get this ticket.
"Last night, just before the draw closed, I realised I had forgotten to get my weekly ticket. I even thought, 'Do I give it a miss?'. I'm so glad I didn't!
"My husband is going to be so excited when I tell him!
"The funny thing is, he doesn't play, but whenever he gets a call from an unknown number, he answers and says, 'Well, it might be The Lott!'. I always say, 'They'll be calling me if we win!'. This time, I was right after all."
With a hefty prize heading her way just in time for spring, the gleeful winner shared her initial plans included upgraded holiday and helping her children.
"I can help my kids. I really can't believe this," she said.
"We do have an upcoming holiday which we can relax on but really, this is all for our kids. It'll be life-changing.
"I'm tongue-tied now. I'm just sitting here trying to take it all in. Thank you so much!"
Her winning 50-game QuickPick entry was purchased via The Lott app - the official home of Australia's lotteries.
