The Sapphire Coast resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10939, drawn Wednesday 5 March 2025. She looks forward to a total prize of $100,000.
When an official from The Lott broke the thrilling news, the generous mother wasted no time thinking of her beloved children and how she could help them.
“Holy sh*t! Is this real?!” the winning woman questioned.

“I thought you were pulling my leg at first.
“I can’t see anything through my tears right now.
“I’ve got myself in a big state.
“I can’t believe this has happened to me – never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d win anything.
“I just want to help my kids. It’s all I’ve ever wanted to do.”

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.
