A generous Umina dad is looking forward to spoiling his kids after discovering he scored $200,000 in today’s Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw.
The Central Coast winner won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1371, drawn Monday 1 July 2019.
As well as winning the coveted 1st Prize, the man also scored a consolation prize of $2,000, bolstering his total prize to $202,000.
Confirming the life-changing discovery with a NSW Lotteries official this afternoon, the thrilled winner revealed he’d only just got home from checking his ticket at the newsagency.
“I was just over at the newsagency and the girl scanned the ticket and then everything went really quiet,” he explained.
“After a few moments she leaned over and said to me really quietly ‘it looks like you’ve won something’.
“So she went out the back to double check the numbers before coming out to tell me what I’d won 1st prize!”
The regular player revealed he’d been hoping for this moment for years.
“I’ve probably been playing Lucky Lotteries all my life!” he laughed.
“I’ve won a few hundred dollars here and there but the most I’ve ever won is $500 so nothing like this! This is the most ever!”
When asked how he planned to enjoy his Lucky Lotteries windfall, the generous winner confessed he hoped to spoil his kids.
“I’m sure the kids will be happy to help me spend the win!” he said jokingly.
“We are going overseas next year so we’ll be putting this towards that trip too.”
The regular player, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased his entry of 10 consecutive numbers at Umina Beach Newsagency, 310 West Street, Umina.
Umina Beach Newsagency owner Gregory Handley said he was thrilled his outlet had sold another Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize.
“We’ve sold a few over the years but the last was about 18 months ago,” he explained.
“We’ve sold a 3rd Prize and a 2nd Prize in the last couple of weeks and now we’ve sold a 1st Prize hopefully the jackpot is next!
“We are thrilled for our winner and wish them all the best!”
The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $78.28 million for draw 1373 while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot is now $2.06 million for draw 10297.

About Lucky Lotteries
Lucky Lotteries has two products: the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot and the Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot.
Both Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot and Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot have thousands of guaranteed prizes in every draw, from free tickets through to a 1st Prize of $100,000 and $200,000 respectively.
In addition to the guaranteed prizes in every draw, Lucky Lotteries is also a jackpotting game. The jackpot in the Lucky Lotteries game is won when the selected jackpot ticket number has already won a cash prize in that same draw. If the selected jackpot ticket hasn’t already won a cash prize in that draw, then the top prize jackpots.
Unlike lotto-style games where the top prize is often shared between winners, Lucky Lotteries is a draw lottery where the jackpot winner takes the lot. This means the jackpot prize can only be won by a unique Lucky Lotteries ticket number.
The sign of Australia’s Official Lotteries, the Lott operates and markets Australia’s leading lottery games customers know and love creating everyday winners, winning every day.
Last calendar year, 74 million winners took home a total of $2.7 billion in prize money from their favourite games which include Saturday Lotto, Monday and Wednesday Lotto, Powerball, Oz Lotto, Set for Life, Lucky Lotteries, Keno and Instant Scratch-Its.
