A Brookvale man can’t wait to tick a first class flight off his bucket list after reeling in a $200,000 Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot win.

The Northern Sydney resident won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1589, drawn Monday 5 September 2022.

The New South Welshman took a little longer to discover his life-enhancing win after continuously declining the winning phone calls.

“Oh wow! Wow!” he cheered.

“I went to buy another entry into the Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw, and the team member at the newsagency told me that I had a major lottery win. I had absolutely no idea that I’d won!

“It’s a little treat I like to do every week. I’ve been playing for years and years.

“This is definitely the most I’ve ever won. I’ve never come into this type of situation before!

“I’ve won $7,000 before, but nothing more. My son won $25,000 once on an Instant Scratch-Its ticket, but that was ages ago. I can’t wait to tell him.

“I’m going overseas in a month, and this has come at the most perfect time.

“I might even fly first class! It’s something I’ve always wanted to do.

“It’s on my bucket list in fact!

“This is wonderful!”

His winning entry of one random number was purchased at Strike It Lucky, Shop 135 Warringah Mall, Corner Old Pittwater Road and Condamine, Brookvale.

The Strike It Lucky team said they’re over the moon to sell a 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot and wish their winner all the best with their prize.

The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $14.21 million for draw 1590, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $26.41 million for draw 10674.

In FY22, 169 Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize and Jackpot winning entries across Australia won more than $32.95 million.
