Confirming win with an official call from The Lott this morning, the woman said she was still in complete disbelief.
"Oh my god!" she cried with happiness.
"I just can't believe it!
"I am beside myself. I can't sleep. I can't do anything.
"I'm in shock. I always thought things like this just don't happen to people like me. It's so exciting!
"I went to pay the electricity bill on Sunday morning and I'd been avoiding paying it all weekend because it was a really big one and when I was on the computer I thought I'd better check my Lotto ticket.
"I typed in the ticket number and when the amount came up I started screaming and crying and carrying on.
"It's unbelievable. I am so happy.
"It still hasn't sunk in. I'm walking around in a complete daze."
When asked how she planned to enjoy her million-dollar prize, she said she'd relish the financial freedom.
"I'll pay off my mortgage and just contemplate the rest for a little while," she explained.
"Until the money is in my bank account, I don't think I can believe it.
"It's going to be the biggest help ever. It really couldn't have come at a better time.
"It's wonderful, absolutely wonderful!"
Cameron's Newsagency owner David Hastings said the big win was big news for the community.
"This is great news for us and even better news to know this incredible win has gone to someone from the region," he said.
"Everyone has been buzzing with excitement knowing that someone from the Southern Highlands has taken home this prize.
"We've sold a few division one winning entries over the years and it's always exciting.
"Congratulations to our latest winner!"
