A Blacktown grandmother is putting her foot on the pedal after scoring $100,000 in today’s Lucky Lotteries draw, and her first stop is driving lessons for her granddaughter.

The Sydney resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 11033, drawn Wednesday 6 August 2025. She can look forward to a wondrous $100,000.

When an official from The Lott called the winning woman moments after the draw, she was left completely stalled by the surprise.

“Holy moly! I was a bit puzzled why you were calling me,” she said.

“This is the biggest shock of my life. You don’t know how much this means.

“I’ll be getting my granddaughter driving lessons. She’s my rock and she really helps me so much.

“My family has been through a lot so I can share this with them and help them.

“I was just ready to head out to the shops, so I’ll have a nice lunch now while I’m out.

“I never thought I’d ever win this much. I’ve played on and off for over 20 years.

“Thank you very much for this phone call. It couldn’t have come at a better time in my life!”

Her winning entry of one random number was purchased at Nextra Westpoint, Shop 3059 Westpoint, 17 Patrick Street, Blacktown.

The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $10.96 million for draw 1711, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $1.28 million for draw 11034.

In 2024, 147 Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize and Jackpot winning entries across Australia won more than $52.2 million.

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.

The official home of Australia’s lotteries, The Lott operates and markets Australia’s leading lottery games customers know and love creating everyday winners, winning every day.

In 2024, more than 195.3 million winners took home more than $4.84 billion in prize money from their favourite games at The Lott, including Saturday Lotto, Weekday Windfall, Powerball, Oz Lotto, Set for Life, Lucky Lotteries, Keno (SA), Super 66, Lotto Strike and Instant Scratch-Its.

Last financial year, Australia’s official lotteries contributed more than $1.8 billion via state lottery taxes and donations to help community initiatives, such as hospitals, health research, disaster relief and education.  As part of its commitment to supporting the community, The Lott proudly supports Play For Purpose, the not-for-profit charity raffle that gives Australians the chance to win while helping more than 500 causes across the country.
