A merry band of 20 Newcastle workmates have been blown away with the news they scored a captivating $200,000 win in today’s Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw.
The Central Coast workers won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1606 on Monday 20 March 2023.
Immediately after the draw, an official from The Lott contacted the syndicate leader, who cheered amongst the office crowd.
“You’re killing me! I’m completely blown away!” he laughed.
“My manager is standing right next to me – she’s dancing, cheering!
“This entry is shared amongst 20 of us at work. There’s a group of us who come together every draw.
“There’s no doubt the syndicate members will know soon because of all the celebrations in the office!
“It’s funny, we have a staff outing scheduled for the day we receive the prize in our bank account. What perfect timing!
“We will probably go out for drinks to celebrate tonight!”
Their winning entry consisting of two random numbers was purchased online at thelott.com – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $3.40 million for draw 1607, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $500,000 for draw 10764.
In 2022, 274 Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize and Jackpot winning entries across Australia won more than $80.49 million.
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.
