An Old Bar mum has two things to celebrate this week – her son turning another year older and taking home a memorable $100,000 win in a recent Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw.
The Mid-Coast resident won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $100,000 in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10797, drawn Wednesday 20 September 2023.
The winning woman revealed she was in the middle of setting up her new phone when she received two missed calls from lottery officials.
“Oh! Oh my god!” she hysterically laughed.
“I can’t believe it. That’s great news.
“I was setting up my new phone when I noticed I had a few missed calls. Then I noticed I received a text message alerting me to check my Lucky Lotteries tickets.
“I thought it was a bit strange, so I checked my ticket on the app immediately. The $100,000 win came up and I just started to cry.
“My husband thought something was wrong with our kids – he thought they were sick! I reassured him with the winning news, and he didn’t believe me, he still doesn’t!
“It’s a funny story actually. I tried to buy a lottery ticket last Thursday for Powerball, but the draw had already closed.
“I decided to get this Lucky Lotteries ticket instead. I normally never buy these types of tickets and I thought I’d give it a go.
“Thank you so much.”
With $100,000 about to boost her bank account this coming month, the New South Wales woman couldn’t wait to pay off some left-over bills and be financially independent.
“This win means so much to us. We will be able to be completely debt free!” she shared.
“We’re actually celebrating my son’s birthday this week, so this is perfect timing!
“We will have to celebrate his birthday and the win sometime soon!”
Her winning entry of four random numbers was purchased online at thelott.com – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $7.96 million for draw 1626, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $4.92 million for draw 10798.
