A Katoomba father has astonishingly managed to take home his second 1st Prize win of $100,000 in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot in just over two weeks.
The Blue Mountains resident won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $100,000 in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10684, drawn Friday 16 September 2022.
He previously won $100,000 in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10665, drawn Wednesday 31 August 2022.
Straight after the draw, the gleeful man checked his winning entry and was left speechless by his second strike of lottery lightning.
“How does this happen! I’m shocked!” he laughed.
“I’m happy to speak to you once again! This is insane.
“I’m getting used to this now, which is such a bizarre thing to say.
“You never expect to win the lotto once, so to win again is amazing.
“Funnily enough, I received the payment for my first win yesterday after the two-week provisional period, and now I’m about to receive another one in two weeks. Crazy!
“They do say, third times the charm. Let’s see how I go in the future!”
When asked how he planned to enjoy his $100,000 win, he shared he was too mind-boggled from winning twice to make any concrete plans.
“I honestly haven’t had a moment to think about it. I know it will go to good use though,” he said.
“I’m still trying to figure out how to spend my first prize! I know a brand-new car for my daughter was initially on the list.
His winning entry of 10 random numbers was purchased at Katoomba Newsagency, Shop 1, 101 Katoomba Street, Katoomba.

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.
