An East Woonona player has finally discovered their $200,000 Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot windfall more than three months after the draw.
The New South Wales resident won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1134, drawn Thursday 27 September 2018.
The entry was unregistered so NSW Lotteries officials had no way of getting in touch with winner to unite them with their $200,000 prize. But more than three months after the draw, officials had the pleasure of confirming the unexpected and exciting news with the player after they checked their ticket at an outlet.
But exactly how they plan to use their Lucky Lotteries windfall will forever remain a mystery as the winner has chosen to remain completely anonymous and celebrate in private.
NSW Lotteries spokesperson Lauren Cooney said Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize winners often explained their good fortune gave them the opportunity to spoil themselves.
“From overseas holidays, to splurging on a boat or a new car, many of our Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize winners tell us the prize will be used for a special item, occasion or holiday they have always been dreaming of,” she revealed.
“What a perfect way to kick off 2019 with their bank account about to balloon by $200,000! We have no doubt our East Woonona winner will enjoy their prize!”
The winning entry of one random number was purchased at East Woonona Newsagency, 30 Park Street, Woonona East.
East Woonona Newsagency owner Paul Schmidt said he was relieved to hear the winner had finally claimed their prize.
“We were really hoping our customer hadn’t lost their winning ticket so I’m thrilled to know they’ve checked their ticket and claimed their prize,” he said.
“We wish them all the very best!”
The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $35.32 million for draw 1194 while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot is now $2.45 million for draw 10265.
