“Without a doubt, this will go towards spoiling my grandchildren rotten.
“They deserve the world!
“It’s nice to know I’ll have this set of money to help them.
“This is such a wonderful surprise! Thank you so much for your call.”

“It’s been a few years since we’ve experienced a big win at our outlet, so we feel it’s about time to get back in the spirit.
“We send our heartfelt congratulations to our winner and hope their prize can help them in many ways.”

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.
