Aussie woman comes forward to claim $20million Lotto prize - and reveals she will keep working

Published: 01:57, 13 August 2026 | Updated: 02:03, 13 August 2026 An Australian woman has come forward to claim her $20 million Lotto prize - and revealed that she will keep working despite claiming the massive windfall. The Queenslander from Hervey Bay held one of the two division one winning entries nationally in Oz Lotto draw 1695 on Tuesday, 11 August 2026. Each division one winning entry pocketed $20 million. She received the shock of a lifetime when checking her ticket while on her way to work. 'I just came into the store this morning to check my ticket and saw that someone had won, but they didn't know who because it wasn't registered. 'I initially thought they said I'd won $20,000, but then realised there were a few more digits! 'This is just a massive boost to my family. I'll keep working for now, but I'll be able to look after everyone.' Her winning entry was purchased at Nextra Fraser Gateway Newsagency, Shop 22-23, Stockland Shopping Centre, 6 Central Avenue, Urraween. Nextra Fraser Gateway Newsagency owner Steven Chow said it was the outlet's second division one win during the past week.

It means we've had seven division one wins in the three and a half years I've had the outlet. 'From everyone in the team, a big congratulations to our latest winner. I hope we can sell more division one winning entries so others get to achieve their dreams too.'
