A Burleigh Heads woman has been left awe-struck after a psychic prediction manifested into reality when she bagged $100,000 in yesterday’s Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw.
The Gold Coast local scored the guaranteed 1st Prize of $100,000 in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10842, drawn Monday 18 March 2024.
The winning woman was oblivious to her newfound fortune when an official from The Lott called to surprise her with the life-enhancing news immediately after the draw.
“Oh, you’re kidding! One hundred thousand dollars?! Oh, good heavens. Pick me up!” she exclaimed in disbelief.
“I can’t believe it. I was told I was going to have some luck come to me spiritually.
“Seriously, I probably sound crazy, but a fortune teller told me so.
“I saw an ad online for a clairvoyant. I don’t normally go to them or see them, but for some reason, I felt inclined to.
“The whole reading was very accurate! It was very shocking, and I was excited when I heard luck would be coming my way.
“It was my first time playing Lucky Lotteries, and the only reason was because of the reading.”
When asked how she looked forward to using her Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot windfall, the winning woman admitted was too surprised to make any definite plans.
“It’s lifesaving. I’ll tell you that much,” she said.
“I’m retired and it’s not easy. I don’t have anything in particular, but this is going to help more than you know.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’m over the moon!”
Her entry of six random numbers was purchased at Nextra Burleigh Town News, Shop 34-35 Stocklands, 149 West Burleigh Road, Burleigh Heads.

If the jackpot number does not match one of the winning numbers, the Jackpot Prize will climb for the next draw.
