A St Kilda man has found himself rendered speechless at work after the news of a $200,000 win in a recent Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw stopped him in his tracks.
The inner seaside resident won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1627, drawn Friday 6 October 2023.
The victorious Victorian took a little longer to discover his windfall after initially missing phone calls from lottery officials.
“I’m in shock. I had no idea!” he exclaimed.
“I’ve had to pull over as I’m driving during work – thank god I did!
“I even checked my tickets on the weekend but I must have completely missed it.
“I’m speechless. I honestly don’t know what to say.
“This has shaken me up.”
The gleeful man was too stunned to make any concrete plans and shared he would let the news of his win sink in before making any permanent decisions.
“I have no idea what to do with the prize. I think I need to let it sink in,” he shared.
“Thank you so much.”
His winning entry of one random number was purchased online at thelott.com – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $8.44 million for draw 1628, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $5.44 million for draw 10802.
