An Australian has won a whopping 40 million Australian dollars in the lottery. That’s the equivalent of more than 25 million euros. The winner initially believed it was an attempt at fraud, but when a lottery employee confirmed the good news on the phone, she could hardly believe her luck.
“It just doesn’t feel real. How do I know this is real?” She cheered, according to the lottery. “My whole body feels numb.” She and her husband couldn’t sleep all night and tossed and turned. They had plans and worked to achieve them, the woman said, “but now we don’t have to worry anymore”.
Now that her mega win has been confirmed, she can think about how her life should go on – after all, the sudden wealth is a fundamental change. She told the lottery three things she wants to do first with the $40 million.
“I can quit my job,” she announced. For some time she wants to take a break to spend more time with her family. Third, the couple plans to use some of the money to pay off the mortgage on their home. Some should also be invested for the future in order to benefit from it for as long as possible. “We want this win to last. We want to leave our family a legacy for many years to come,” she announced. The lottery company did not provide any further information about the woman, such as her age or name.
A 61-year-old from Bremen can only smile about a profit of the equivalent of 25 million euros: He even won a whole 107 million euros in the Eurojackpot at the beginning of the year. The North German wants to stay down to earth and, according to the lottery company, want to continue doing his job.
