A Parkes resident is flying through the week $100,000 richer after landing the 1st Prize win in yesterday’s Lucky Lotteries draw – though they might not know it yet.
The elusive winner held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 11068, drawn Monday 13 April 2026. They look forward to a neat $100,000 prize.
While the winner had registered their entry to The Lott Members Club, officials from The Lott were unable to contact the winner on the details provided.
The winning entry was purchased at Parkes News & Gifts, 284 Clarinda Street, Parkes.
Parkes News & Gifts manager Melissa Cowling shared she was thrilled to discover a major lottery win landed in her town and hoped the winner came forward soon.
“It’s just so exciting to hear someone in our small country town has been lucky enough to win a major prize,” she said.
“We’ll be celebrating in-store with ballons and streamers and spreading the winning cheer with everyone.
“It has been about 12 months since we last sold a major prize-winning ticket. Our customers will be thrilled to hear someone has won again, and hoping it could be them next.
“Congratulations to our winner! Wishing you all the happiness spending your prize and we hope it will make a huge difference in your life.”
The Lott spokesperson Eliza Wregg said she was eagerly waiting to speak with the region’s latest major prize winner despite repeated attempts to phone the winner going unanswered.
“I was ready to reveal the life-enhancing news to the Central West’s latest major prize winner, but sadly whenever I called the number provided, it just rang out and went straight to message bank,” she said.
“If you see a number of missed calls on your phone from a 07 number, you could be the mystery winner we’re trying to contact.
“You may not think it’s possible you’re the 1st Prize winner we’re searching for, but if you have an unchecked entry into the recent Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw from Parkes News & Gifts, you’re in with a chance!
“This is an important reminder to all players to keep your membership details up to date, so that if you were to win a major prize, we can contact you with the thrilling news.
“We’re urging all Lucky Lotteries players to check their entries as soon as possible. If you discover you are holding the winning ticket, contact The Lott on 131 868 to begin the process of claiming your prize.”
The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $1.48 million for draw 1783, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $2.06 million for draw 11069.
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.
