"When I first scratched the ticket, I thought it was no good and I was going to put it into the bin. My husband said to me, 'Let's have a look again.' He did have a look and he said to me, 'You've won!" the woman told lottery officials at The Lott.
"I'm glad I didn't throw away this ticket. I guess I'll have to share this prize with my husband now," she continued.
The woman said she plays $5 scratch-off tickets every week but has never won anything like this.
The woman noted that the winnings will help out their children and that she might get a better car.
Recently, an unidentified Australian couple accidentally thought their $1.79 million lottery win was worth $179,000.
