An Alice Springs man has confessed he can’t wait to pay off the rest of his mortgage after a free ticket scored him $100,000 in a recent Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw.

The Northern Territory resident won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $100,000 in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10816, drawn Tuesday 12 December 2023.

In addition to his $100,000 bounty, the winning man’s entry also scored a consolation prize of $1,000, bolstering his total prize to $101,000.

“Oh, thank you very much!” he cheered when an official from The Lott called to confirm his life-enhancing victory.

“I just checked the results online! I can’t believe it.

“I showed my wife and said, ‘Is this true or what?’

“Oh yeah, and I won on a free ticket that I got from a previous draw!

“We’ll be able to fully pay off the house which is a dream come true. We only have a bit left so this is a great help!”

His winning entry of two consecutive numbers was purchased online at thelott.com - Australia’s official lotteries.

The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $10.60 million for draw 1637, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $7.39 million for draw 10817.

In FY23, 218 Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize and Jackpot winning entries across Australia won more than $79.20 million.

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.
