A Nundah man’s birthday took an unforgettable turn after a surprise phone call from lottery officials revealed he’d scored $200,000 in today’s Lucky Lotteries draw.
The North Brisbane resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1767, drawn Friday 13 February 2026. He looks forward to a neat $200,000 payday.
When an official from The Lott rang to deliver the thrilling news, the winner was left stunned.
“That’s amazing!” he exclaimed.
“Mate, you wouldn’t believe it, but it’s my birthday today. This has to be the best birthday present I’ve ever received.
“It’s completely insane! I can’t believe it – my heart is racing right now.
“I was just planning on having a quiet night in, but I think those plans might have to change now.”
Beyond the celebrations, the winning man shared the prize would allow him to finally get a new set of pearly white teeth, something he’d been dreaming of.
“I’ve been wanting to get a new set of teeth for a while,” he said.
“Now I’ll be able to get them done without worrying about the cost.
“What an absolutely beautiful birthday. Thank you so much!”
His winning entry of two random numbers was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $24.64 million for draw 1768, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $1.02 million for draw 11061.
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.
