A Caringbah mum is relishing a new sense of freedom after winning the guaranteed 1st Prize in a recent Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw.
The Southern Sydney player won $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1196, drawn Friday 11 January 2019.
Confirming her unexpected and exciting win with a NSW Lotteries official this morning, the woman was in complete shock.
“I’m the 1st Prize winner?” she questioned.
“Oh my god, oh my god!
“This will change my life.
“This is amazing. Absolutely fantastic!”
The woman explained she didn’t become aware of her good fortune until last night, three days after the draw, but was initially sceptical.
“I didn’t realise I had won until I went to buy a lottery ticket online last night,” she shared.
“Then I saw the prize amount pop up and I thought ‘no, this can’t be right’.
“I really did not believe it was true.
“I’m still in shock. I didn’t sleep last night at all.”
The hardworking mum said the Lucky Lotteries windfall had come at the perfect time.
“This will significantly take the financial pressure off,” she said.
“It will go straight to the mortgage.
“I will keep working but maybe I won’t have to work six days a week anymore!”
The winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased her winning entry of three random numbers online at thelott.com – Australia’s official lotteries.
The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $36.28 million for draw 1198 while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot is now $2.58 million for draw 10266.
