Retiree wins $10,000

A Peninsula retiree has won a $10,000 prize in the $2 Jackpot Lottery on December 9.

The winning ticket was sold at Woy Woy Newsagency.

According to NSW Lotteries, the winner said: "I was in the import, export business and did some hard yakka.

"I was just eight years old when my mother started buying tickets and I have been buying them for years.

"I might use the money to buy a boat and go fishing."

Woy Woy Newsagency employee Ms Trish Haggerty said she was delighted to see a local resident win the prize money.

"It's been a while and we're overdue for a major prize."
