Orange woman wins $1 million from $20 lottery ticket
An Orange woman won $1 million in the Weekday Windfall draw after using a previous $20 win to buy another ticket.
A Central West woman from Orange is now $1 million richer after an extraordinary stroke of luck. She'd won $20 in a previous draw and reinvested it in another Weekday Windfall ticket on 15 September.
The woman checked her numbers in the evening and couldn't sleep, thinking she'd made an error. The Orange woman was the only division-one winner across the entire country.
The woman hasn't made any plans yet and says she's still in shock, going between ideas for the money and then stepping back to let it sink in.
