A Ryde woman has vowed to put herself at the top of her to-do list and enjoy life’s little pleasures after discovering she’d bagged $200,000 in yesterday’s Lucky Lotteries draw.
The Sydneysider held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1722, drawn Wednesday 1 October 2025 and can look forward to a total prize of $200,000.
When an official from The Lott called to confirm the thrilling news, the winning woman confessed she couldn’t believe her eyes when she checked her winning ticket online.
“I’m still in shock!” she gasped.
“I checked my tickets online just a couple of minutes ago, and I couldn’t believe my eyes.
“I never imagined that my three Lucky Lotteries tickets would win me $200,000.
“I’ve encountered a lot of bad luck in my life recently, so this is very welcome news.
“Wow. It’s just incredible!
“I’ll finally be able to prioritise myself for a change.
“It’ll mean I have the freedom to do the little things for me.
“I’m thinking I’ll start with taking myself to a fancy lunch overlooking the Sydney harbour.”
Her winning entry of 10 random numbers was purchased at Lucky Go, Shop 1025B, LG2, Top Ryde City Shopping, Ryde.
Lucky Go team member Amanda Campbell shared she was thrilled to hear her outlet had sold another major prize-winning entry worth $200,000.
“Oh my goodness, we can’t believe we’ve done it again! We always feel very blessed to sell a major prize-winning entry,” she said.
“We can’t wait to share the good news with all our customers.
“No doubt our customer’s will be excited to know someone local has won a major prize.
“We wish our winner all the best and hope they enjoy spending their prize.”
The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $13.84 million for draw 1723, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $760,002 for draw 11042.
In FY25, 182 Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize and Jackpot Prize winning entries across Australia won more than $20.5 million.
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.
