There has been a strict lockdown in Sydney for weeks. You can forget a lottery ticket.
Sydney – Because of the corona lockdown in Sydney, an Australian only realized after two weeks that she had become a lottery millionaire.
The winning numbers were already drawn on July 21st, "but because of this whole lockdown here, I hadn't checked the lottery ticket at all," the Australian broadcaster 9News quoted the woman from the suburb of Fairfield on Monday. "I had a thousand other things on my mind."
When she finally remembered the bill and checked it, she was incredulous to see that she had won a million Australian dollars. "I can not believe it. That makes everything so much better, ”said the overjoyed woman. First of all, she will now pay off her house. "And when the lockdown is over, I'll definitely be planning a vacation."
In Sydney and other parts of the state of New South Wales there have been strict restrictions for weeks due to the spread of the Delta variant. They should apply until at least the end of August. dpa
