A Helensvale woman got the surprise of a lifetime after stepping out of the shower to find multiple missed calls and a message from The Lott – only to discover she’d won a sweet $100,000 in yesterday’s Lucky Lotteries draw.

The Gold Coast resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 11004, drawn Monday 17 June 2025. She looks forward to a total prize of $100,000.

The winning woman shared how the prize couldn’t have come at a better time, declaring “someone above” must be looking out for her.

“Wow! I wasn’t expecting that!” she cheered.

“I was in the shower the first time you tried to call me. When I hopped out, I saw I had multiple missed calls and a message from The Lott, which I thought was odd.

“It gave me the biggest fright.

“It feels like someone above is looking out for me. It has come at the perfect time.

“If I’m honest, it just doesn’t feel real. I’m a bit shaky and in disbelief.

“It’ll go a long way toward taking a chunk out of our mortgage.

“We also have kids we’ll be able to support more.

“It’s all very exciting!”

Her winning entry of 10 random numbers was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.

The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $6.52 million for draw 1705, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $21.43 million for draw 11005.

In 2024, 147 Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize and Jackpot winning entries across Australia won more than $52.2 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.
