Dapto duo scoop million dollar Monday & Wednesday Lotto jackpot

A Dapto woman has confessed she screamed with delight after realizing she’d won $1 million in last night’s Monday & Wednesday Lotto draw but nearly passed out when her husband admitted he’d purchased the same entry twice, delivering them another $1 million.

The Wollongong couple held the only two division one winning entries nationally in Monday & Wednesday Lotto draw 4268 on Monday 13 March 2023 and took home a total of $2 million after each entry scored $1 million.

“It’s actually a funny story as to why we ended up with the same entry twice,” the happy husband laughed when an official from The Lott called to confirm the double division one win.

“I forgot to put my wife’s numbers on last week, and she wasn’t too happy with me. So, this week I thought I’d put them on twice to make up for it.

“Lo and behold, this morning she kept crossing off number after number on her ticket, and once we realized we’d won $1 million on one ticket, I thought I should probably tell her about the second identical ticket too.

“My wife has played these numbers for almost three decades and has always said they’d be drawn one day.

“I can’t believe this has happened to us.”
