“I’ve won $200,000?! That’s wonderful!” he cheered.
“That’s such exciting news. Magnificent!
“It’s amazing. Wow. Thank you!

“I saw the other day that someone won the incredible $21 million Lucky Lotteries Jackpot Prize in Queensland, and it inspired me to grab some tickets.
“I’ve got a few ideas in mind. I’ll need to speak to my wife first about what we’ll do, but we’ve wanted to do some renovations around the house.
“What a wonderful phone call.”

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.
