A Kellyville man says he’s “surprised, shocked and speechless” by the news he won $200,000 in today’s Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw.

The Sydney resident won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1280, drawn Tuesday 16 April 2019.

The winner had no idea of his good fortune until a NSW Lotteries official contacted him this afternoon to share the exciting news.

“I am shocked!” he exclaimed.

“Thank you! I don’t know what to say!

“That’s great! I’m speechless. What fantastic news!”

While he said he’d always dreamt of winning big, the winner revealed he’d need some time to let the enormity of the win sink in.

“I’ve been playing Lucky Lotteries for a long time, for years and years,” he explained.

“We’ve got a mortgage so this will help pay that off and we’re about to go overseas so that will be the perfect celebration!

“And maybe we will take a few more holidays after that one.

“I’ve never had that much money to play around with before so it’s a great feeling!

“It certainly hasn’t sunk in yet!

“I’m surprised, shocked and speechless!”

The winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased his winning entry of three random numbers online at thelott.com – Australia’s official lotteries.

The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $56.20 million for draw 1281 while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot is now $4.92 million for draw 10284.
