A Bankstown man can’t wait to visit his adult children scattered around Australia using his $200,000 windfall from the latest Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw.

The retiree won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1141, drawn on Thursday 11 October 2018.

The Sydney man only discovered his win this morning when his day was interrupted by a call from a NSW Lotteries official.

“Two hundred thousand dollars?! Wow!” the gobsmacked man gasped when his win was confirmed.

“Oh great! I’m jumping for joy. I don’t know what to say to you.

“All I can say is God bless you. Thank you very much.

“You’ve made my day, mate!”

The regular Lucky Lotteries player wasted no time in thinking about how he might use his surprise $200,000 windfall.

I haven’t seen my adult kids for a while – they live all around Australia - and this means I’ll be able to go see them. We can have a great family reunion,” he said.

The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased his entry of one random number at Supanews Xpress Bankstown, Centro Bankstown, Cnr North Terrace & Lady Cutler Avenue, Bankstown.

Supanews Xpress Bankstown team member Weda Priya said it was great to see the outlet’s winning streak continue. “Wow! That’s great news,” she exclaimed.

“We’ve had two division one Lotto wins last year, and now a Lucky Lotteries win.

“I can’t wait to tell our customers!”

The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $22.84 million for draw 1142 while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot is now $630,000 for draw 10251.
