The $2 Feline Rich Instant Scratch-Its ticket was purchased at Chaddies Newsagent & Store.
The Kempsey resident relayed how her winning discovery came about when an official from The Lott reached out to her.
"I went to the newsagency to check a different ticket I had. It'd won $10 so I just bought a couple more to do later," she said.
"They were sitting in my bag all day.
"When I finally scratched the ticket, I was in disbelief. I called my children in and said 'Am I seeing this right?
"They started screaming and we all did a big happy dance around the house."

"I've been persevering and now I've finally been rewarded for staying strong," she said.
