A Victorian couple has set a new record for the biggest lottery win in the state after finally checking their ticket late last night.
“You can stop looking Victoria, we’ve found the $80 million Powerball winner from last week's draw,” the Lott spokesperson Matt Hart said.“I’m still in shock,” the winning woman told the Lott official on Monday morning.“Even though I’ve scanned that ticket so many times, thank you for saying that.
“With everything else going on at the moment,” the winner didn’t check her ticket straight after the draw last Thursday night.She said her and her husband had bought two tickets. “I said ‘I think I’ve won something’. So other members of the family started scanning the ticket and nothing was sinking in. I just didn’t believe it,” she said.“I’ve been safeguarding that ticket ever since. The ticket came to bed with me last night,” she said.
