A Macksville woman with a green thumb is happily planning a garden makeover with the $100,000 prize she scored in a recent Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw.
The Nambucca Valley player won the 1st Prize of $100,000 in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10389, drawn Tuesday 23 June 2020.
In addition to winning the 1st Prize, the woman’s entry of three consecutive numbers also scored her a consolation prize of $2,000.
However, officials from the Lott had been unable to contact the registered player to deliver her winning news. Instead, she realised her good fortune when she checked her ticket instore.
“I only found out when I checked my ticket at the newsagent. I couldn’t believe it!” she declared.
“I’ve been playing for decades. I’ve won free tickets and smaller prizes, but nothing quite like this.
“It’s just fantastic!
“A few days ago, I was in the garden and was thinking how I’d love to get a landscaper in. So that’s certainly what I’ll do now!
“I like my garden, but I’d just love something a bit more manageable.”
The winning entry was purchased at Macksville Newsagency, 11 Wallace Street, Macksville.
Macksville Newsagency team member Amy Welsh said it was great to see a win back in town.
“It’s fantastic for the community right now. Just to pick everyone up a bit as people have been struggling.
“This is the fifth 1st Prize we’ve sold in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot. We’ve also sold a Lotto division one, and a few Instant Scratch-Its top prizes.
“In one month in 2016, we actually sold four major prizes in one month. Perhaps this is the start of another winning streak! Wouldn’t that be nice!”
The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $4.12 million for draw 1490 while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot is now $1.28 million for draw 10390.
