A Fishermans Reach man has let out screams of joy and declared ‘fan-bloody-tastic’ after he received a phone call from lottery officials revealing he’d landed $200,000 in yesterday's Lucky Lotteries draw.
The Mid North Coast resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1778, drawn Wednesday 11 March 2026. He looks forward to a neat $200,000 payday.
“Holy sh*t! Did you just say $200,000?” the winning man questioned when an official from The Lott rang him.
“Holy sh*t! Holy sh*t!
“You’ve got no idea what this means to me.
“This is fan-bloody-tastic! I’m f****** happy.
“It’s a dream come true for me.
“I haven’t eaten all day but right now I’m so excited that my hunger has evaporated.
“I keep logging in to check it’s real. I keep screaming in my head, ‘That’s mine! That’s mine!”
Despite feeling dizzy with dollars, the stunned winner shared the prize would allow him to turn his long-held dream into reality.
“This puts me in a very good spot,” he said.
“I can finally go home. I can go back to the place I grew up in and buy a house.
“I’ll also buy a new car.”
His winning entry of 10 random numbers was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $27.28 million for draw 1779, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $1.41 million for draw 11064.
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.
