It was a sleepless night for one Bay woman who won $1.5 million in Lotto.
The winner woke in the middle of the night with a sudden feeling to check her ticket on the Lotto website.
"I watched the red circles go around all six of my numbers and quickly realised it was going to be big - I just didn't realise how big," the winner said. "To start with I thought I'd won $1500, so I couldn't believe it when I realised I'd actually won $1.5 million."
The winner, who didn't want to be identified, said she had already put considerable thought into how she wanted to spend the money.
"I want to do a little bit of renovation to the family home, but mostly I want to make sure my family is looked after. Material things are all good and lovely but in the end it's my family that's important.
