A Mackay mum will never forget to bring her glasses again after initially misreading her incredible $1 million Wednesday Windfall win as just $10.
 
The Queenslander held the only division one winning entry nationally in Weekday Windfall draw 4635, on Monday 8 December 2025. She can look forward to a clean $1 million paid just in time for Christmas.
 
When we finally reached her, the ecstatic winner revealed she always played a subscription ticket, allowing her to “set and forget” and let fate do its thing.
 
“I’m very ecstatic and very happy!” she cheered.

“I just have a subscription. It’s good because I just set it and forget it.

“I always say, ‘You’ve got to be in it to win it!’.
 
“I missed your calls, and then I saw something telling me to check my tickets.
 
“I had a quick glance, but I didn’t have my glasses on, so I thought I’d won $10.
 
“Then when I had a chance to look at it properly, I went ‘Holy moly!’. I just cried and cried with joy.
 
“It’s something I’ve been wishing for.
 
“I’ve always wanted to own my own home to leave as a legacy for my children and now I can.
 
“I’m very grateful! Thank you!”
 
Her winning 5-game QuickPick entry was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
