Xinkuai Daily - During the Lunar New Year celebrations, people greet each other with "congratulations and be prosperous" to express good wishes. In Melbourne, Australia, a woman really did strike it rich during these past few days - while doing a major clean-up at home, she stumbled upon a lottery ticket and unexpectedly discovered that she had won the first prize of 2.5 million Australian dollars!

The lucky woman had bought this lottery ticket last year, which was drawn on September 12. After the draw, though she knew that the local lottery store had sold the winning ticket, she assumed she had lost hers, so she didn't inquire further.

On the 15th, while cleaning her house, the lucky woman unexpectedly found the ticket. Although uncertain if it was a winner, she decided to call and check anyway. To her surprise, she learned that she was one of the jackpot winners and was entitled to a share of 2.5 million Australian dollars.

This unexpected wealth turned her into a millionaire overnight, but as of now, she has yet to decide how to use the winnings.
