A Lake Haven man was left hiccupping with excitement after discovering he’d scored $100,000 in yesterday’s Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw.

The Central Coast resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10973, drawn Tuesday 6 May 2025. He looks forward to a wondrous $100,000.

The winning man was in the middle of a busy workday when he received the unexpected call from an official at The Lott.

“Woo-hoo! That’s a bit interesting!” he cheered.

“My wife’s going to freak out. I think she’ll probably pass out.

“That’s very good news. I’ve been waiting for a call like this for years.

“You’ve certainly surprised me. I’ve got the hiccups now.

“The most I’ve ever won is $1,000, and that was on an Instant Scratch-Its ticket years ago.”

The jubilant winner shared he couldn’t wait to make some much-needed car repairs with his newfound fortune.

“It’s come at a great time because I need to do some car repairs,” he said.

“I’m at work right now, so hopefully I’ll be able to focus after this.

“Thank you very much!”

His winning entry of two random numbers was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.

The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $5.8 million for draw 1702, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $17.4 million for draw 10974.

In 2024, 147 Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize and Jackpot winning entries across Australia won more than $52.2 million.

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.

The official home of Australia’s lotteries, The Lott operates and markets Australia’s leading lottery games customers know and love creating everyday winners, winning every day.

In 2024, more than 195.3 million winners took home more than $4.84 billion in prize money from their favourite games at The Lott, including Saturday Lotto, Weekday Windfall, Powerball, Oz Lotto, Set for Life, Lucky Lotteries, Keno (SA), Super 66, Lotto Strike and Instant Scratch-Its.

Last financial year, Australia’s official lotteries contributed more than $1.8 billion via state lottery taxes and donations to help community initiatives, such as hospitals, health research, disaster relief and education.
