An Erina man was left speechless this morning after the revelation he won $200,000 in the latest Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw.
The New South Wales player won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1376, drawn Thursday 4 July 2019.
Confirming the discovery with a NSW Lotteries official this morning, the thrilled man revealed he never expected to win the 1st Prize.
“Oh god, I am getting all teary,” he admitted.
“I am very overwhelmed. Sorry I am getting all choked up here.
“I am all over the shop.
“I am walking around in a circle. I just can’t believe this.
“My family is here and we are all so excited. We are definitely going to celebrate tonight with some dinner and drinks.”
When asked how he planned to use his prize, the Erina local said he had a few ideas – including an extended holiday to Spain.
“I need to sleep on it for a night or two I think,” he explained.
“We will definitely go on a holiday to Spain and I will share some with my family.
“Then I will probably retire soon. I have been thinking about it for a while, so this might help me actually do it!”
The regular player, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased his entry at Erina LPO and Newsagency, Shop 17A, Fountain Plaza, 148-158 The Entrance Road, Erina.
Erina LPO and Newsagency co-owner Warren Bolton said he was thrilled to have sold a 1st Prize winning entry.
“This is so exciting!”
“It is the first major prize we have sold since we took over ownership, so we are very happy.
“We are celebrating in store and telling all of our customers.
“Hopefully this is the start of a winning streak and we sell more major prizes to our customers.
“Congratulations to our winner. We wish him all the best for the future.”
