In an adrenaline-filled morning, a Port Kembla woman was left breathless and shaky after discovering she’d won $100,000 in today’s Lucky Lotteries draw.
The Wollongong resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10900, drawn Monday 9 December 2024. She is set to receive a $100,000 boost just in time for Christmas.
When an official from The Lott contacted the winning woman, she shared the win had instantly brightened her day and had come at the perfect time for Christmas.
“Oh my god! I still can’t believe it!” she cried.
“I checked my online account about 30 minutes ago and instantly felt breathless.
“I rushed to tell my husband the news and he started to get shaky hands.
“I needed some time to gain my composure before I spoke to you.
“It’s surreal because I’ve been playing Lucky Lotteries for a while now, hoping for a win just like this.
“It’s come at the most perfect time before Christmas.
“It will be nice to head into the holiday season stress-free.
“This is the best news to receive on a Monday—It feels like a ray of sunshine!”
Her winning entry of one number was on The Lott website – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.

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.
