A Sunrise Beach man is set to enjoy even more time on the water after scoring $200,000 in today’s Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw.
The Sunshine Coast resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1769, drawn Wednesday 18 February 2026. He looks forward to a neat $200,000.
“I’m a very happy man,” he said when an official from The Lott rang and confirmed his prize.
“This is honestly the best phone call I’ve ever received.
“I’ve been playing Lucky Lotteries since I was 18 years old.
“I’ve had a few $1,000 wins here and there, but this on a whole other level.”
With $200,000 set to boost his bank account, the coastal man shared he looked forward to treating himself to a new water toy.
“I’ve been thinking about buying a surf ski for a couple of years and I’ll finally do it,” he said.
“I’ll also help out my adult children. I’ll be able to bring a smile to their faces when I surprise them.”
His winning entry of one number was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
