A Tenterfield woman has been left speechless and in dire need of a quiet moment to herself after discovering she’d won $200,000 in yesterday’s Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw.

The New England resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1720, drawn Monday 22 September 2025 and looks forward to a sweet $200,000.

“That’s unbelievable!” she cried when an official from The Lott confirmed her win.

“I’m speechless right now. This changes everything for me.

“I need to sit down. I’m so shocked and the tears are coming thick and fast.

“Hold on a minute – I’m going to go tell my mum I’ve just won $200,000!

“We both can’t believe it.”

With $200,000 soon to boost her bank account, the gleeful woman shared the prize would allow her to buy a new set of wheels.

“Well, I need a new car, so this is just perfect timing!” she said.

“This is going to do so much for me. It’ll help in more ways than you can imagine.

“For now, I just need a few minutes to sit down in silence and process what has just happened.”

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

The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $13.36 million for draw 1721, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $630,001 for draw 11041.

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.

The official home of Australia’s lotteries, The Lott operates and markets Australia’s leading lottery games customers know and love creating everyday winners, winning every day.

In FY25, more than 123.8 million winners took home more than $4.1 billion in prize money from their favourite games at The Lott, including Saturday Lotto, Weekday Windfall, Powerball, Oz Lotto, Set for Life, Lucky Lotteries, Keno (SA), Super 66, Lotto Strike and Instant Scratch-Its.

Last financial year, Australia’s official lotteries contributed more than $1.66 billion via state lottery taxes and donations to help community initiatives, such as hospitals, health research, disaster relief and education.  As part of its commitment to supporting the community, The Lott proudly supports Play For Purpose, the not-for-profit charity raffle that gives Australians the chance to win while helping more than 500 causes across the country.
