A Western Sydney woman is planning to head back to Europe for an extended holiday after she discovered she won $200,000 as she returned home from a trip to Ireland.
The New South Wales woman won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1285, drawn Tuesday 23 April 2019.
Confirming her win with a NSW Lotteries spokesperson this morning, the woman explained how she discovered her good fortune.
“I was in Ireland visiting my son when I won!” she exclaimed.
“I didn’t realised I’d won until I was sitting on the tarmac inside the plane leaving, that’s when I checked my online account.
“I thought I was seeing things!
“I thought ‘oh my god, oh my god’!
“I just didn’t know if it was true or not!
“If I wasn’t already on the plane I would have extended my holiday!”
The woman revealed that although it was too late to turn around then, she’d be heading back to Europe to celebrate.
“I’ve been playing Lucky Lotteries regularly with the jackpot prize so high!
“I’ll be able to help my children buy their first homes.
“I’ll put it towards my mortgage and head back over to Europe to celebrate!”
The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased her winning entry of five consecutive numbers online at thelott.com – Australia’s official lotteries.
The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $59.08 million for draw 1293 while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot is now $630,000 for draw 10286.
