A LUCKY mum who bagged a life-changing £19 million on the lottery says she won't quit her job.

The unnamed woman only purchased the winning Powerball ticket as a Christmas gift to herself.

But it turned into dream come true money when she became one of three winners to net a record-breaking £52 million jackpot.

The mum, from Queensland, Australia, said: "I just jumped to the roof and screamed!

"The kids thought a cockroach was in the kitchen."

The parent, who lives in the Durack area of Brisbane, is now £19,245,146.19 richer (AUD$34,234,773.14).

But despite the landfall paycheque, she has vowed to "keep working" because she loves her job so much.

It is not clear what her occupation is as she remained anonymous.

"This will not only help my family but also help us move forward with a better life", the mum added.

The AUD$100million prize was the fifth biggest jackpot in Aussie lottery history, LadBible reported.

The December 29 draw winners all chose 9, 26, 4, 23, 22, 6 and 24, with the Powerball coming in at number 18.

The two other lucky ticket holders were from New South Wales in the south of the country.

When told of his jackpot win over the phone, a man from Burwood, in Sydney, said: "Are you f***ing kidding me!? Jesus Christ."

A fourth winner is yet to come forward to claim their massive prize.
