Confirming his win with an official from The Lott, the bewildered winner said he was so thankful for his good fortune.

“Well, this is absolutely magical!” he exclaimed.

“Lucky the Cat has come up trumps for me this time!

“I’ve been playing for a while but never expected to win anything. You always dream about it, but you can’t expect that it will ever happen to you.

“It’s arrived at just the right time.

“I’ll be able to live a carefree life, pay off some bills and maybe even treat myself to a few things.

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.
