A Kenthurst man has had the shock of his lifetime, answering the phone to news he won $100,000 in the latest Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw.
The New South Wales player won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $100,000 in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10384, drawn Monday 1 June 2020.
As well as winning the 1st prize, the man’s entry also won a consolation prize of $1,000, boosting his total win to $101,000.
This afternoon an official from the Lott called the winner, who had no idea he had just become Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot’s latest 1st Prize winner.
“Thank you so much!” he laughed.
“It is a bit of a shock! A very big shock actually!
“Can you hang on a moment. I want to go get my wife and get you to break the news to her.”
“Oh my god! Ahhhh,” his wife screamed as she heard the winning news.
“Are you sure this is not a hoax?

The overjoyed man said he’d be spending the night having a few celebratory drinks and making plans for how to enjoy his prize.
“God, I need some good scotch and my wife needs a nice bottle of wine to celebrate this,” he laughed.
“There’s so much we could do with this prize. I want to help my family.
