A Pooraka woman clutched her chest, convinced she was ‘experiencing heart failure’, only to discover it was her $100,000 Lucky Lotteries win that sent her heart racing.
The Adelaide resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10889, drawn Monday 4 November 2024 and pocketed a tidy $100,000.
Officials from The Lott reached out to the winning woman straight after the draw while she was busy at work, just about to hit send on an email.
“Oh my god! Oh my god!” she screamed.
“Oh my god! I can’t believe I just won!
“I was just about to send off an email and now you’re telling me I’ve won $100,000.
“My heart is absolutely racing right now. I feel like I’m about to experience heart failure, that’s how fast my heartbeat is.
“I’m starting to get really emotional.
“My husband and I are finally able to buy a house.
“I was planning on having lunch with my work colleagues but now I think I’ll go home and surprise my husband with the news.
“He’s going to lose it. He might even think I’m pranking him.
“I still can’t believe it myself. It’s so surreal.”
Her winning entry of four random numbers was purchased on The Lott website – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.

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.
