A Loftus man has two things to celebrate this week – his birthday and a $100,000 win in today’s Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw.
The Southern Sydney resident won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $100,000 in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10685, drawn Monday 19 September 2022.
Straight after the draw, an official from The Lott reached out to the New South Welshman who was going by his usual Monday, completely unaware of his windfall.
“You ripper!” he shared.
“This is the best phone call I’ve received in a long time.
“I play Lucky Lotteries regularly, it’s one of my favourite games to play.
“It has really paid off after winning this prize!
“Funnily enough, my birthday is this week, so it has come at a perfect time.
“It really tops the list as one of the best birthdays presents, I’ve ever received!
“Our family celebrated my birthday already, but we might have to make another excuse to gather together and celebrate this win!
“I’ll probably be wise and put it towards an investment property.
“We will pop open a bottle of champagne!”

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.
