While hearing the news they’ve just won the lottery sends some winners into a dreamy state, one Bondi man has admitted he’s going to sleep terribly, because he’s too excited about his $200,000 Lucky Lotteries win.
The New South Wales player won the 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1495, drawn Monday 3 August 2020.
An official from the Lott called the man today while he was on his afternoon walk to break the exciting news he’d just won $200,000.
“Wow, that’s terrific! Two hundred thousand dollars!” he exclaimed.
“When I initially received your call, I thought it was either going to be a scam call, or you were going to be delivering me good news.
“I am thrilled it isn’t a scam!
“Well it’s lovely to hear from you.
“This is the most I have ever won! I think I won $50 a while back. This is unbelievable.
“What a wonderful surprise!
“I am going to celebrate quietly tonight.
