A South Melbourne woman can’t wait to clutch the keys to her first home after taking home $200,000 in a recent Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw.

The Melburnian won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1610, drawn 4 May 2023.

“I’m so happy!” the winning woman cheered when an official from The Lott called to confirm the winning news.

“I couldn’t believe it!

“I checked my entry on the app, and I just stared.

“For the first 15 minutes, I was just panicking! I wasn’t sure what to do or if it was real.

“The 10 minutes after that gave me enough time for it to sink in, and I just started screaming in excitement!

“About 30 minutes later, I calmed down and I called my partner. We’re both very happy.

“I always get random numbers when I play the Lucky Lotteries games! I’m happy I let another means choose my numbers because now I have a home deposit!

“I had hopes of purchasing a home next year – now it’s definitely a reality for me!

“Thank you so much.”

The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $4.3 million for draw 1611, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $1.54 million for draw 10772.

In 2022, 274 Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize and Jackpot winning entries across Australia won more than $80.49 million.
