Nancy, from Ontario, Canada, was so shocked at the news that she thought someone was playing a prank on her.
She said: “I checked the winning numbers on OLG.ca and thought OLG was playing a prank on me – I was shaking.
“I couldn’t believe it!”
Gardner said the shock of her lucrative win didn’t hit her until she shared the news with her friends and family.
She said: “My niece was crying when I told her.”
Gardner plans to invest her millions into a new home in Toronto, and use the money to help her relatives.
It comes after a lottery player in Maryland scooped up £20,000 after her winning numbers came to her sister in a dream.
The winner, of Cockeysville, also plays the Pick 3 and Pick 4 games and admitted her dreams inspire the numbers that she selects.

She told Maryland Lottery: “I saw nothing in Pick 3 and Pick 4 tickets, but when I checked the Pick 5 it was straight across. I couldn’t believe it.”
Earlier this month a North Carolina teenager won £800,000 two weeks after his grandfather claimed he would.
Dalton said he plans to save most of his winnings, but will probably get himself a new vehicle first.
He added: “I think I’ll buy a brand-new [Chevrolet] Silverado.”
