"Well it has arrived at the best time of the year," she said.
"We will certainly enjoy Christmas. But the rest, gosh, I couldn't even tell you at the moment.
"I'm still in shock, we will have to have a good think about it."
The winning entry was purchased at Nextra Sturt Mall.
Owner Natalie Sutherland said she was happy to have played a party in delivering her customer a life-changing Christmas present.
"We were so excited to hear that one of our customers had such a great win, especially so close to Christmas," she said.
"How incredible that must feel.
"Congratulations to her on her fantastic win, we hope this is life changing and we wish her all the happiness for many years to come."
