Lotto win nets $500k

IT didn’t take long for the winner of Saturday’s Gold Lotto to comprehend her life had changed forever.

A Mermaid Beach grandmother, who checked her ticket yesterday, said she couldn’t believe her eyes and was still trying to fathom the win.

She said she had not stopped crying happy tears since she discovered she was $500,000 richer.

“I checked my ticket and I refused to believe it. I’ve been crying ever since,” she said.

The win came from a $2.85 four-game marked entry.
