A Port Lincoln retiree has admitted his eyes sparkled with excitement as he imagined the sweet life with his $100,000 windfall from a recent Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw.
The Eyre Peninsula resident won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $100,000 in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10814, drawn Monday 4 December 2023.
It was a gift that kept on giving for the South Australian after his ticket also scored a consolation prize of $1,000, alongside the guaranteed 1st Prize - bolstering his total windfall to $101,000.
“Oh, I couldn’t believe it,” he laughed.
“It’s hard to fathom. It’s such wonderful news.
“I purchase tickets into Lucky Lotteries draws now and then and I always visit the same place to buy my tickets.
“I never expected to win big and it’s very rare for me to even win a small prize. One hundred thousand dollars is next level.
“This will allow me to enjoy life a little bit more, and I’ll share with my children.
“I’m still in shock!
“Thank you so much.”
His winning entry of two consecutive numbers was purchased at Terry White Chemists – Port Lincoln, 43 Liverpool Street, Port Lincoln.
