A Wollongong man who initially thought he may’ve snagged $5,000 has been left feeling dizzy and in dire need of a glass of water after learning he’d actually won $100,000 in yesterday’s Lucky Lotteries draw.
The Illawarra resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 11047, drawn Wednesday 12 November 2025. He looks forward to the entire prize of $100,000.
When an official from The Lott called to reveal the thrilling news, the winning man was in the middle of his workday and completely oblivious to his windfall.
“Oh wow! Holy sh*t!” he cheered.
“No way! I was expecting you to say $5,000!
“I’m in shock.
“I’ve had to sit myself down because I felt like I was spinning for a second there.
“I’m feeling f***ing awesome right now.
“I’m just on my lunch break right now. I don’t know how I’m going to head back into work after this.”
When asked how he’d use his newfound treasure, the winning man confessed he needed a glass of water before making any concrete decisions.
“Oh jeez, I don’t know what to even say,” he said.
“Where to even start… there’s a lot of things I could do.
“For now, I just need a big glass of water and to catch my breath.”
His winning entry of one random number was purchased 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.
