The southern Sydney duo held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10866, drawn Friday 9 August 2024 and pocketed a total prize of $100,000.
The stunned duo happened to be standing next to each other when they received the winning phone call from lottery officials, turning it into a memorable moment they’ll never forget.
“That’s beautiful!” the winning daughter cheered when an official from The Lott confirmed their win.
“Dad and I have been playing Lucky Lotteries together for years now.
“At this point, we just love the ritual of going and buying the ticket together.
“How much did you say again? Wow! One hundred thousand dollars!
“My Dad is over the moon at the news. He has had to sit down to compose himself.
“This is great news to get on a Friday! We’re going to have the best weekend celebrating.”

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.
