Numbers came to her in dream. So she played them in Australian lottery — and won big
An Australian woman is counting her lucky stars after playing numbers in the lottery that came to her in a dream.
“I always play these numbers. They were in a dream I had,” she told lottery officials in a May 2 news release. “I remembered the numbers from my dream and put them all on a Lotto ticket.”
The Altona resident played the Monday & Wednesday Lotto in Australia’s national lottery.
Then she won $1 million.
“We had been away, so I hadn’t checked my ticket,” she told officials. “When I checked my online account and saw I’d won a million dollars, I thought, ‘No! No way!’”
As the winner of the April 12 drawing, the woman took home $1,006,109.05 Australian dollars, equivalent to just more than $671,000 in the U.S.
“I almost fainted!” she told officials.
She isn’t sure what she will use the money for yet but said it will “make things a whole lot easier!”
Altona is a suburb of Melbourne in the southeast territory of Victoria, Australia.
