A woman in Melbourne, Australia is now $835,0000 richer after making a simple mistake. The unnamed lady, who is said to be in her 30s, accidentally purchased two tickets.

Some people have incredible luck. Take a woman in Melbourne, Australia for example. The unnamed lady who is said to be in her 30s is now $835,0000 richer after she accidentally purchased two TattsLotto tickets.

She won two prizes, one of which was worth over 400 grand, while several other prizes brought her winnings to a grand total of $835,149.68. TattsLotto is an Australian lottery game held weekly, on Saturday nights.

The woman received a phone call from TattsLotto staff, alerting her of the great news. She stated “I buy a TattsLotto ticket every week, and I just forgot that I'd already bought one for the weekend when I went to another shop to buy the second one. I always play the same numbers made up of family birthdays.”

She claimed half of the money would go towards paying off her mortgage. The lady was ecstatic that she'll still have some cash left after she is done paying off her loans. The woman can thank the absent minded mistake of purchasing the second ticket for the additional money.

She purchased both winning tickets from the Melbourne Central Shopping Centre from two different news agencies.
