A woman from Australia wins the biggest single lottery prize in history.
How she handles the profit is amazing.
Sydney – Hit the jackpot in the lottery once in your life, no longer have to worry about money, no longer have to do anything.
That is the dream of many people.
For a woman in Australia it has come true.
She won the equivalent of around 100 million euros - the largest single prize ever.
Unlike lottery winner Colin Weir from Scotland, she does not lead a life in the lap of luxury afterwards.
The Sydney nurse just carried on as before.
In October 2019, she won the unbelievable sum in the Powerball lottery.
She told the British tabloid The Sun
how her life changed as a result
.
The next day she took her children to school as usual and went to work.
Her superiors let her in on it.
Lottery winner refuses to quit job
"When I told my boss, she just grabbed me and hugged me tightly," said the lottery winner, who wished to remain anonymous.
The boss was worried that the nurse would quit her job.
But that was out of the question for the multimillionaire.
“Nursing is something that's in my DNA.
I can't not do it," the woman said.
She still leads a modest life, in everyday life she enjoys the little things.
"Being able to buy fresh flowers is a luxury." She can now also treat herself to a more expensive bottle of wine instead of "a cheap Chardonnay".
An Australian who won the lottery twice in one week was much more lavish with his money.

She only told a small circle of her lottery win.
She regularly invites the few people on vacation.
The memories of the trips are "priceless".
It is important that only "a handful" of people know about lottery luck, she advises other lucky people.
A couple from North Rhine-Westphalia who squandered their million-dollar lottery win should have followed this advice.

Money shouldn't change personality either.
"If it's possible and you can stand it, wake up the next morning and go to work," the mother advises.
You should also hire a “really good financial advisor”.
She herself used the two weeks between winning the lottery and paying out the money to find an advisor "whom I really trust." A lack of trust played a role in a lottery community that fought in court in Australia to win.
