A self-confessed cat lover from Prahran is thanking his two ‘kitty cats’ after they inspired him to purchase a $200,000 winning entry in a recent Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw.

The Melbourne local in his 40s won the guaranteed 1st Prize in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1255, drawn Friday 22 March 2019.

Speaking to a Tatts official this morning to confirm his win, the winner recounted how he discovered the life-changing news.

“Wow! That’s amazing! I’m over-the-moon!” he exclaimed.

“I saw the email letting me know I had won a prize but when I logged in and saw how much I had won I got so excited. I couldn’t even think straight. I was shaking!

“I’ve never won anything in my life! Actually, that’s not true! When I was young I won a free portrait but I never got it done!

“I’ll definitely be able to enjoy this prize!”

When asked how he planned to enjoy his Lucky Lotteries windfall, the winner confessed he knew exactly what he would do with it.

“I have two cats and I am sick of hiding them from the landlord so it’s time I buy my kitty cats a house of their own,” he laughed.

“It’s so hard to buy a house in Melbourne due to the extraordinary house prices so this will go a long way towards me getting a forever home.

“I actually played Lucky Lotteries because I love my cats. I guess I’ll have to thank them for being my good luck charms.

“I always thought I should play this game, but when I saw the jackpots get higher and higher I finally did.

“My cats will definitely be getting spoiled. I think I’ll have to take them house-hunting with me!”

The thrilled winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased his entry of one random number online at thelott.com – Australia’s official lotteries.

The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $50.20 million for draw 1256 while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot is now $4.27 million for draw 10279.

For your chance to make today your ‘Lucky’ day, why not get your paws on a Lucky Lotteries ticket at your local NSW Lotteries outlet or online via thelott.com.
