Ever had a phone call that completely changed your life? Imagine being a hardworking farmer for 38 years, driving to your son's wedding, when suddenly you receive a call informing you that you've won a $5.3 million mansion. That's exactly what happened to Rowena, who initially dismissed the call as a scam. This heartwarming story unfolds as Christian persistently tries to convince Rowena that she has indeed won the Royal Melbourne Hospital Home Lottery grand prize with just a single ticket. Listen to the full episode to experience the raw emotion and genuine surprise as Rowena processes this life-changing moment in real-time. It's a reminder that sometimes, the most deserving people do get their moment of fortune!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
