He may have been buying Lucky Lotteries regularly tickets for the past two years, but one Neutral Bay man in his 40s has confessed he never expected to win $200,000 from the latest Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw.
The Sydney man won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1136, drawn on Tuesday 2 October 2018.
When a NSW Lotteries official first made contact with the man with the news this morning, he admitted he was sceptical.
However, when he checked his entry online, he discovered his good fortune.
“I want your job! You get to deliver great news to people,” he laughed.
“Wow! What a day! It’s a fantastic way to start the day!
“I’ve been buying Lucky Lotteries tickets for the past two years. There’s always hope, but when it happens it’s fantastic.”
When asked how he would use his $200,000 prize, the Sydney man confessed he had yet to make any firm decisions.
“It hasn’t sunk in yet. It’s all very surreal so I don’t know at this stage,” he said.
“I need to talk to my wife first.”
The couple, who wish to remain anonymous, purchased their entry of one random number online at thelott.com – Australia’s official lotteries.
The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $21.64 million for draw 1137 while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot is now $500,000 for draw 10250.
NSW Lotteries customers can purchase a single ticket number into the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot for $2.20 and the Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot for $5.50. For your chance to make today your ‘Lucky’ day, why not get your paws on a Lucky Lotteries ticket at your local NSW Lotteries outlet or online.
