An Enmore man couldn’t stop giggling after the revelation he had won $200,000 in a recent Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw which will allow him and his wife to go to the Land of the Rising Sun.
The Sydney resident scored the guaranteed 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1669, drawn Friday 10 May 2024.
Officials from The Lott called the winner immediately after the draw late last week and caught him completely off guard with the winning news.
“Oh my god! You’re kidding me?!” he cheered.
“That’s insane! Well, don’t you have the best job!
“That’s amazing. Sorry I’m trying to listen, but I can’t think straight.
“Now I can’t stop laughing! Thank you so much.
“I’m going to call my wife, she’ll be chuffed.
“She’s been wanting to go to Japan actually. I think this could certainly be a worthwhile reason to go!”
His winning entry of four random numbers was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $18.52 million for draw 1670, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $1.02 million for draw 10848.

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.
