A Gosford retiree painting his house has happily put down his roller to the news he won $100,000 in today’s Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw.

The Central Coast resident won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $100,000 in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10508, drawn Monday 6 December 2021.

So far in 2021, there have been 23 Lucky Lotteries major prize winning entries in the Hunter and Central Coast region collectively worth more than $12.01 million.

Straight after today’s draw, an official from The Lott dialled the joyful man, who was left puzzled by the life-enhancing news.

“No way! Wow! Wow! That’s unbelievable,” he cheered.

“My wife is looking at me like I’m crazy. I need to tell her the exciting news!

“We won $100,000! Woo-hoo! I had absolutely no idea.

“I’ve been purchasing entries for about 20 years now, and I usually play Saturday Lotto. I decided to give Lucky Lotteries a go.

“The most I’ve ever won is $100! I think I won $9 on Saturday Lotto recently. Some would say it’s been a lucky start to the month.

“This is amazing.

“I have no idea what we’ll do with it! I’m too overwhelmed to think of anything at this stage to be honest.

“We’re going to go enjoy some lunch now and hopefully stop shaking from the excitement!”

His winning entry of two random numbers was purchased at Imperial Centre Newsagency, Shops 237, The Imperial Centre, 171 Mann Street, Gosford.

The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $5.32 million for draw 1553, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $4.92 million for draw 10509.

In the 12 months to 30 June 2021, 136 Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize and Jackpot winning entries across Australia won more than $46.09 million.

During this time, the biggest Lucky Lotteries prize was won by a Coolangatta man who scored a Mega Jackpot prize of $9.41 million in May 2021.

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.
