Single mother wins more than 45 million Icelandic krónur

A single mother in her fifties has won more than 45 million Icelandic krónur in the Lottó lottery, mbl.is reports. She was the only player to match all the numbers in last Saturday’s draw.

The woman, who has several children, has recently faced health problems and damage to her home. The win came at a particularly welcome time, according to a statement from lottery operator Íslensk getspá.

“Finally, something good happens!” she said when she realised she had won the triple jackpot. One of her first plans is to buy a new car, a purchase she has long dreamed of.
