The 48-year-old building manager said that this was her first big lottery win.
“It was 2 a.m. when I actually played my ticket and realized I won big. My heart was beating so fast, I was so excited,” she said.
When she told her husband with five kids of the win, he didn’t believe her at first.
"We always joke that we have a winning ticket so of course he thought I was joking again," she said. "That’s when he checked for himself and we hugged each other and jumped up and down. It was great!"
Mueller wants to put a down payment on a house, and a new car and plans to go on a cruise with her winnings.
The winning ticket was purchased at the Port Hope ONMarket on the Highway 401 Eastbound ONroute. The payment was given on Oct. 4.
