A Bexley woman has revealed she still feels like she is dreaming after discovering she is $200,000 richer from Thursday’s Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw.

The Southern Sydney resident won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1167, drawn Thursday 29 November 2018.

When speaking with a NSW Lotteries official this morning to confirm the win, the winner revealed she had only been playing the game for a short time.

“Oh my god! I can’t believe this is happening to me! It’s amazing!” she exclaimed.

“I’ve only been buying these tickets for two months or so! I kept saying to my family ‘I’m going to win that $200,000’ and there it was!

“I can’t believe it! I checked it yesterday afternoon and there it was! I’d won!

“You read about other people winning and you never think it is going to happen to you but there you go! It has!

“I feel like I am dreaming but it's not a dream. It's a reality!”

When asked how the excited winner planned to spend her Lucky Lotteries windfall she revealed she had already kick-started her holiday plans.

“We’ll be heading overseas on holiday to visit our family,” she declared.

“That’s the first priority but this has just really changed our lives.

“I think I am going to cry I am so excited! It’s so good! It’s just going to change our lives.

“It’s so amazing. I can’t say how much joy it has bought to us!”

The winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased her winning entry at Kogarah Railway News, 6 Kogarah Railway Station, Kogarah

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.
