Lockdown is looking a lot brighter for a Chester Hill father who received a life-enhancing phone call that he’d won $100,000 in this morning’s Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw.
The Southern Sydney resident won the 1st Prize of $100,000 in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10493, drawn Wednesday 29 September 2021.

“This is a shock. A surprise. I can’t wait to tell my daughter. She will be over the moon for me.

When asked how he might enjoy his lottery windfall, the joyful man said he already knew exactly what he would do.
“The prize will go into savings and will be a big help to my family in the future,” he shared.
