A strong resolve and a sprinkle of luck have transformed the life of an Aussie.

Sticking to the same lotto numbers for two decades, their long-term strategy unexpectedly ended in a jackpot win, making their retirement all the more sweeter.

The gutsy Queenslander’s unwavering dedication to her particular numbers finally manifested in a whopping $400,000 division one win in the Gold Lotto draw 4447 last Saturday, March 2.

Her numbers—19, 15, 18, 30, 5 and 8—a combination that had become a fixture of her weekly routine, had finally drawn the winning ticket.

‘It's been a whirlwind—an emotional rollercoaster of the best kind,’ the lucky winner shared.

She and her daughter tried to make sense of the life-changing news from this fortunate turn of events that transformed their hopes into joy.

'We've been playing these numbers for years, clinging to hope each time. To see them pop up and to know they’ve delivered this blessing, I can barely find the words,' she added.

According to reports, the woman was among thirteen individuals who each took home over $400,000 in the Division One lottery.

Seven people from Victoria won, three from Queensland, two from the Northern Territory, and one from New South Wales.

So far in the ‘23-‘24 fiscal year, 290 wins have been recorded in Division One.

Don't get your hopes up, folks.
There's apparently yet another rule change coming in respect of the Monday and Wednesday Lotto draws, effective early May (?); it will probably be yet another change to the number of numbers you pick, which tends to bugger up any "same numbers each week" strategy.

Unless she spent $385 each week on lotto, she ended up ahead.
