A young Mt Druitt man confessed to still being half-asleep when he received the news he was now $200,000 richer after winning the guaranteed 1st Prize in the latest Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw.
The man won the 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1137, drawn on Wednesday 2 October 2018.
Speaking to a NSW Lotteries official today to confirm the prize, the hard-working man admitted he had just woken from a nap before starting nightshift.
“Are you joking? Is this serious? Is this real? I’m sorry, I’ve just woken up from a nap before I head to work and it’s taking me a minute to process!” he confessed.
“That’s just beautiful! Thank you so much! It’s fine you have woken me up – definitely worth the wakeup call!”
“I don’t usually play Lucky Lotteries, but I had a few extra dollars in my online account after putting on my other lottery entries and I saw that it had jackpotted to $21 million so I thought I’d enter.
“I’m so glad I did now! Two hundred thousand dollars! Wow!”
When asked how he planned to spend his Lucky Lotteries windfall, the happy man revealed the first thing he would do was plan a family holiday.
“I’m not sure what I’ll do with it yet. It will help so much with everything!” he declared.
“It will definitely go towards a big holiday for a start. The family have wanted to go to New Zealand for a while, so I think it’s time to head over there.”
The winner also confessed a celebration of the life-changing news would have to wait.
“I’ve got to head to work, but hopefully we can spend a nice day out as a family tomorrow – just depends on the weather!” he laughed.
The family man, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased his entry of four random numbers at thelott.com – Australia’s official lotteries.
