A Chester Hill woman has thanked her husband for being her ‘lucky charm’ after winning $200,000 in the latest Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw.

The New South Wales woman won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1177, drawn Thursday 13 December 2018.

The unsuspecting winner was blown away when a NSW Lotteries official called her this morning to confirm the exciting news, and explained how the win came about.

“This win is very much thanks to my husband,” she declared.

“He saw the Mega Jackpot soaring and thought this game could be his lucky charm, so I decided to buy myself an entry, maybe he’s my lucky charm!”

The woman revealed she’d only just started playing Lucky Lotteries when the windfall came her way.

“This is only the second or third time I’ve played Lucky Lotteries!” she exclaimed.

“I just can’t believe it!

“Thank you so much.”

The woman shared she’ll put some of her prize towards her mortgage and, as it was the season of giving, she knew exactly how she’ll use the rest of it.

“It’s really bizarre.  When I realised I had won, my first thought wasn’t about me, it was about my family,” she laughed.

“It’s just perfect timing with Christmas and everything.  It’s just so nice because I’ll be able to share this prize with everyone in the family.

“You have to give to receive.”

The winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased her winning entry of five random numbers online at thelott.com – Australia’s official lotteries.

The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $31.48 million for draw 1178 while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot is now $1.93 million for draw 10261.

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.
