A Helensburgh couple can’t wait to “enjoy some bubbly” and dance the night away after discovering they scored $200,000 in a recent Lucky Lotteries draw.
The New South Wales pair held the 1st Prize winning entry of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1675, drawn Thursday 30 May 2024.
Officials from The Lott called the winning duo immediately after the draw leaving them in complete awe.
“Oh great! That’s fantastic!’ the winning husband laughed.
“I’m pretty happy with that!
“I’ve never won anything like this. I’ve won free tickets here and there but that’s about it.
“I can’t believe it! Thank you very much.”
With $200,000 about to bless their bank account, the gleeful couple shared they already had a few thoughts on how they’d use their prize.
“This will really help us set up a few things. We’ve got some repairs here and there to do,” they said.
“We can help the kids out a bit too.
“Then to celebrate, we might go out this weekend, have a nice expensive dinner, and enjoy some bubbly!”
The winning entry of 10 random numbers was purchased online via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.

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.
