A Carlingford mum has picked up the phone just in time to hear the news she’s suddenly $200,000 richer.

The Sydney resident won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1370, drawn Monday 1 July 2019.

Sharing her excitement with a NSW Lotteries official this afternoon, the winner revealed she initially wasn’t planning on picking up the life-changing phone call.

“Wow!” she exclaimed.

“Are you sure?

“Amazing. That’s amazing!

“That’s such fantastic news. I’m so excited!

“I’m a little bit in disbelief. I had no idea, none what so ever. I wasn’t even going to answer your call!

“I’ve probably only been playing on and off for the last six months.

“So this is very good. I’m very pleased!”

The winner revealed she’d need to take some time to let the news sink in before deciding exactly how she’d spend her unexpected windfall.

“I don’t know. I’m still trying to get my head around it,” she laughed.

“I really have no idea but definitely a little holiday.

“I’d go back to Europe in a heartbeat.”

The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased her winning entry at Kingsdene LPO & Newsagency, 142 Felton Road, Carlingford.

The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $78.28 million for draw 1373 while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot is now $2.06 million for draw 10297.

For your chance to make today your ‘Lucky’ day, why not get your paws on a Lucky Lotteries ticket at your local NSW Lotteries outlet or online via thelott.com.

NSW Lotteries customers can purchase a single ticket number into the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot for $2.20 and the Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot for $5.50.

About Lucky Lotteries

Lucky Lotteries has two products: the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot and the Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot.

Both Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot and Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot have thousands of guaranteed prizes in every draw, from free tickets through to a 1st Prize of $100,000 and $200,000 respectively.

In addition to the guaranteed prizes in every draw, Lucky Lotteries is also a jackpotting game. The jackpot in the Lucky Lotteries game is won when the selected jackpot ticket number has already won a cash prize in that same draw. If the selected jackpot ticket hasn’t already won a cash prize in that draw, then the top prize jackpots.

Unlike lotto-style games where the top prize is often shared between winners, Lucky Lotteries is a draw lottery where the jackpot winner takes the lot. This means the jackpot prize can only be won by a unique Lucky Lotteries ticket number.

The sign of Australia’s Official Lotteries, the Lott operates and markets Australia’s leading lottery games customers know and love creating everyday winners, winning every day.

Last calendar year, 74 million winners took home a total of $2.7 billion in prize money from their favourite games which include Saturday Lotto, Monday and Wednesday Lotto, Powerball, Oz Lotto, Set for Life, Lucky Lotteries, Keno and Instant Scratch-Its.
