A South Windsor woman today happily discovered what she thought was a $1,000 win was actually a $101,000 Lucky Lotteries win!
The New South Wales resident won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $100,000 in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10284, drawn Thursday 18 April 2019.
In addition to winning the 1st Prize, the ecstatic woman also won a consolation prize of $1,000, boosting her total prize to $101,000.
When a NSW Lotteries official contacted the woman to deliver the news, she admitted she was glad she had been sitting down when she heard she had won the 1st Prize.
“Oh my god!” she screamed.
“Wow! $100,000?
“I saw the $1,000 on my online account but I didn’t see that I had won $100,000 as well!
“Oh my god! The most I have won is $500 in the past and I was so happy about that.
“This is great! What an amazing way to start the week.
“I am glad I am sitting down!
“This is excellent! I am going to have a few drinks tonight and then go out for dinner with my mum this weekend to celebrate.”
The ecstatic woman said she was excited to use her prize to spoil herself.
“I’m going to go a shopping spree – spoil myself a little,” she declared.
“I might go on a holiday too. I need to have a bit of a think of where I’d like to go. Probably somewhere beautiful overseas.”
The happy winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased her winning entry of 2 consecutive numbers online at thelott.com – Australia’s official lotteries.
