A Toronto resident or visitor has started the new year with a $200,000 windfall in a recent Lucky Lotteries draw, though they may not know it yet.
The mystery ticketholder held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1694, drawn Tuesday 7 January 2025. They can look forward to a total prize of $200,000.
If the winner had been part of The Lott Members Club and registered their ticket to a player card or online account, they would have been alerted to their good fortune immediately after the draw.
Instead, officials from The Lott are eagerly waiting for the ticketholder to check their ticket and come forward.
The winning entry was purchased at Priceline Pharmacy Toronto, Shop 14, Toronto Town Square, 63 The Boulevard, Toronto.
Priceline Pharmacy Toronto manager Rachel Jackson shared she couldn’t contain her excitement after discovering her outlet had sold a winning ticket worth $200,000.
“I’m over the moon! There were lots of screaming and jumping from me and the staff when we found out,” she said.
“Our customers are going to be very excited to hear a local player has won such a great prize.
“We’ve sold three 1st Prize winning entries over the years, and our last one was in October 2024.
“We hope our mystery winner comes forward soon to discover their major win.”
The Lott spokesperson Eliza Wregg said she hoped the region’s latest 1st Prize winner checked their ticket and came forward soon to start the exciting prize claim process.
“Whoever is holding this golden ticket may have no idea they’re starting 2025 with a boosted bank account!” she said.
“We’re encouraging anyone who purchased a Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot ticket from Priceline Pharmacy Toronto Newsagency to check their ticket today!
“Just imagine how exhilarating it would be to discover you’re the winner we’re searching for! Your plans for the rest of the year could change quickly.
“Make sure you check your tickets, and if you discover you are holding the winning ticket, contact The Lott on 131 868 as soon as possible to begin the exciting prize claim process.”
The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $4.12 million for draw 1695, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $9.47 million for draw 10913.
In FY24, 147 Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize and Jackpot winning entries across Australia won more than $53.4 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 FY24, more than 132.8 million winners took home more than $4.4 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.
