The Tuesday win was the sixth major prize Tasmanian lotto prize in May, and the ninth for the year.
The winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, said she will spend the money on her family and to help her grandchildren.
I never really thought about what I would do with a prize like this because I never thought I would win," she laughed.
Despite being registered to a Tatts Card, officials were not able to contact the winning player on the details provided which meant she was oblivious to her win for several days.
"I had no idea," she said when staff informed her she was $200,000 richer.
"I just came in to buy another entry. I can't believe it.
"I saw that I had a few missed calls, but I don't answer calls from unknown numbers - I might have to start picking them up from now on if it means I've won some money."
