Almost a month after the winning numbers were drawn, a Beaconsfield man has finally discovered his $116,000 Super 66 win and plans to adorn his driveway with a new set of wheels.
The Tasmanian winner held one of the three division one winning entries nationally in Super 66 draw 4553, drawn Saturday 8 March 2025. Each entry scored $116,642.05.
Although the winning entry was registered to The Lott Members Club, officials from The Lott had been unable to make contact with the winner as the contact details were out of date.
“Geez!” the man exclaimed when an official from The Lott confirmed his prize.
“I don’t know what to say! That’s the biggest prize I’ve ever won.
“We’ve played Lotto and Super 66 for years. I just go in every few weeks and get my tickets for the coming draws. I don’t worry about checking the tickets until the next time I’m in.
“It’s a lot to take in. I was having a good day, but I feel a whole lot better now! It’s going to be a good week.
“I’ll be able to buy a new car! And I can plan a trip to Melbourne to see some family.”
The man’s winning 4-game QuickPick entry was purchased at Beaconsfield Newsagency, 121 Weld Street, Beaconsfield.
Beaconsfield Newsagency owner Jordan Wu said he was thrilled the winner had finally been united with his prize.
“It’s such an incredible feeling to know that one of our customers has won a division one prize! We’re overjoyed to have played a part in making someone’s dreams come true,” he shared.
“This is our very first division one winning entry since we opened our doors. It’s a special milestone for us, and we’re hopeful it’s the first of many more to come!
“We’re planning to celebrate this exciting milestone by decorating the store with balloons and banners to share the joy with our customers.
“It’s a reminder that anyone can win, and I’m sure it will bring even more positivity and energy to our store!
“It’s a testament to the trust and support of our wonderful customers, and it motivates us to continue providing excellent service.”
