The week just got a whole lot brighter for a couple on the Sunshine Coast who discovered they’re suddenly $200,000 richer!
The Queenslanders won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1245, drawn Monday 11 March 2019.
Confirming their win with a Golden Casket official this morning, the beaming pair recalled how they discovered their good fortune.
“We realised we’d won yesterday afternoon. I just decided to scan all my tickets on the app on my phone,” the woman explained.
“I got a notification saying ‘wahoo you’ve won’. I thought it must have been $12 or a free ticket or something like that.
“I couldn’t believe it was actually $200,000!
“I had to get my husband to check I wasn’t seeing things.
“It was amazing!”
The woman joked she had predicted it would be a winning week.
“We were having a bad beginning to the week and we were trying to laugh it off and I said to my husband ‘don’t worry about it, we will win the lotto and it will be fine’,” she laughed.
“I can’t believe I called it!
“We’ve been playing Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot lately and it’s been great!
“It’s just amazing to know what it’s like to win! We will keep playing for sure!
“It’s just a dream. It takes the heat off financially, that’s for sure.
“We’ll pay a few bills and take our beautiful family on a holiday as well.”
The couple, who wish to remain anonymous, purchased their winning entry of one random number at Nextra Swan Newsagency, Shop 137 Sunshine Plaza, 154-164 Horton Parade, Maroochydore.
Nextra Swan Newsagency manager Donna Arthur said she was excited to hear a local couple had taken home the 1st Prize.
“This is great news! We haven’t sold a major prize winning entry for a little while so it’s great to start a winning streak.
“I love it when these huge prizes go to our local customers, it feels like we’ve won ourselves!
“We wish them all the best!”
