The New South Wales pair won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1356, drawn Tuesday 18 June 2019.
Confirming their life-changing discovery with a NSW Lotteries official this morning, the couple said they’d just checked their ticket at the newsagency.

“Thank you! Words just can’t describe how I’m feeling right now.
“This couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m so emotional!
“I can’t even think! I really can’t think!
“My partner and I have been playing for a long time and yesterday we saw on Facebook that someone who purchased a ticket at the newsagency we go to had won $200,000.
“We joked that maybe it was us and I asked my partner where he’d want to buy a home if it was us.
“Then this morning we walk into the newsagency to check our ticket and it was us!”
The escastic couple revealed they’d stick to their plans and would no longer have to joke about having their very own abode.
“We’re going to put it towards a new home!” she exclaimed.
“We’re really hoping this is the beginning of a run of good luck for us!”
