It was the first lotto ticket she'd ever bought.
The Sydney Women held the only division one winning entry nationally in Oz Lotto draw 1377, drawn Tuesday 7 July.
Sharing her shock this morning, the overwhelmed woman explained she'd just checked her Oz Lotto ticket online.
"Jesus Christ. Oh my god. I cannot believe it," she said.
"We've been on holidays in Sussex Inlet and my friend called me just before and said to me 'I think the newsagency you bought your Oz Lotto ticket from sold the $50 million winning entry'.
"I've never played Oz Lotto before. I walked past the newsagency and thought it would be a bit of fun to enter, so I did!"
When asked how she imagined life as a multi-millionaire, she said she was struggling to come to terms with the news and would need to take some time to decide how she will enjoy her prize.
Inlet Newsagency owner Dimitrios Spyrakis said the town had been buzzing with the exciting news.
"We're so happy to hear the winner has now been united with her prize," he said.
"It's all everyone is talking about here.
"Congratulations to her, we hope she continues to holiday at Sussex Inlet."
The winning numbers were 12, 9, 13, 7, 32, 5 and 4.
