A Coorparoo man is happily planning a ‘bucket list trip’ after winning the 1st Prize in the latest Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw.
The ecstatic winner won the 1st Prize in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1115, drawn Monday 6 August 2018, and takes home $200,000.
The win kicks off a record-breaking week in Australian lottery with two jackpots worth a collective $150 million up for grabs in the coming days. Tomorrow’s Oz Lotto has a massive $70 million up for grabs, while Thursday’s Powerball is offering a mind-blowing $80 million.
When speaking with a Golden Casket official this afternoon to confirm his win, the Brisbane man couldn’t contain his excitement.
“Wow, wow. This is fantastic,” he said while laughing.
“I am feeling amazing, you have made my day!
“This is so great, I am really excited.
“This is unreal. I never really thought I would win the lottery.
“Honestly, I don’t really believe it. It’s still sinking in!
“I am feeling lucky, absolutely lucky.
“They say good luck comes in threes, so hopefully there’s some more great things coming my way!”
The happy winner plans to use his windfall to tick off some key items on his bucket list – including overseas travel.
“I think a holiday would be a great idea. It will be a bucket list trip,” he explained.
“I would love to travel around Central Europe and Asia.
“Tonight will be celebration time!”
The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased his winning entry of 10 random numbers from Newstead News, 32 Ross Street, Newstead.
Newstead News co-owner Jeffrey Boon said he was ecstatic one of his customers had won the 1st Prize.
“I am excited that my customer has won, it is great,” he said.
“I hope my customer enjoys his win! It would be great to congratulate him in person.
“I always hope my customers will win. That is the main thing!
“This is the first Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize winning ticket we have sold. Hopefully we will sell some more winning tickets soon!”
