GREY Nomads from New England have become high rollers with a $200,000 Lucky Lotteries win.
The couple, who wish to remain anonymous, are planning to pig out tonight after they won the guaranteed first prize drawn on Tuesday.
“I’ve got the shakes,” the woman said.
“We won’t be eating mince in the caravan tonight, we’ll be pigging out for sure!”
The lucky winner said she hasn’t let life on the road get in the way of buying her lottery tickets.
“I’ve been keeping an eye on the big Lucky Lotteries jackpot and I didn’t want to miss any draw,” she said.
“This win is fantastic. We can get a new 4WD – this one is getting on and struggling with the van a little bit. We’ll also get a diesel heater and satellite TV for the van.
