“$101,000! I love it!” he happily yelled.
“I’m shaking! My wife’s shaking. I came home early from work, and my wife told me there were calls for me from The Lott.
“We’ve been purchasing Lucky Lotteries ever since the game started, so this feels amazing.
“This is the most I’ve ever won. I’m tickled pink!
“I’ve told my son the good news, but I still have to phone my daughter. She will be over the moon!
When asked how he planned to enjoy his good fortune, the New South Wales said he had one thing in mind.
“My wife has wanted a brand-new car for a very long time. This has come at a perfect time,” he shared.
“I’ll have to have a beer and celebrate with the family this evening.”

Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot and Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot are raffle-style games, which means there is a set number of tickets in each draw. As each ticket number is unique there is no sharing of prizes.
Each game has two draws – one that determines the winning numbers and one that determines the jackpot number. If the jackpot number matches one of the winning numbers, then the Jackpot Prize is won. If the jackpot number does not match one of the winning numbers, the Jackpot Prize will climb for the next draw.
Tickets can be purchased at any licenced lottery outlet, online from thelott.com or via The Lott mobile app.
