The woman purchased a ticket in the Saturday Lotto draw on April 17.
She was one of five division one winners who shared in more than $700,000 each.
More than 100 days after the winning numbers were drawn, the woman returned from holidays and checked the ticket in her purse.
“I was very surprised,” she said.
“I have been away for a few months on holidays and I only checked my ticket when I got back home.
“I don’t normally play Lotto but I just decided to buy this entry when I was in Wagga shopping.”
The woman said she has no idea what she will spend the money on.
The winning ticket was purchased at Nextra in the Sturt Mall.
Manager Melissah Phillips said the outlet had been eagerly waiting on news of a winner.
“It’s the first division one winner for our store since it opened in September last year,” she said.
