An Alexandra Headland woman couldn’t stop laughing yesterday after realising she had scored $100,000 in a recent Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot.
The Sunshine Coast resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10849 on Tuesday 7 May 2024.
The winning woman admitted she initially ignored phone calls from The Lott thinking they were scams.
“Holy! That’s amazing!” she cheered.
“Thank you so much. I’ve never won anything like this.
“I thought you were trying to scam me at first! I saw I had some missed calls and things, but after I checked The Lott number, it seemed legit so I called into the contact centre.
“I’m very glad it is real! Wow. I’m just in total shock.
“I can’t stop laughing!”
With $100,000 about to boost her bank account, the Queenslander shared she couldn’t wait to start some much-needed kitchen upgrades.
“Funnily enough, I was just telling my husband yesterday, we need a new stove!” she said.
“I’ve been cooking on this mini Kmart one for almost five years and we’ve always spoken about getting a new one.
“Now we can do more than just that! We can renovate the whole kitchen!”
Her winning entry of one random number was purchased 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.
