"I was just at the table, having a couple of tea while my daughter was making me cupcakes, and I decided to scratch the ticket," the winner recalled. "I screamed out to her 'I think I have won!' We kept checking and double checking."
The ticket was a $32,445 top-prize winner.
"It was a very surreal moment," she said. "It was lovely to share that experience with her."
The woman said she plans to use her prize money to make home improvements.
"I want to do some renovations on the house, and I know it sounds funny, but I have always wanted a screen door on the front door, and so I am going to get one," she said.
