A Sunshine Coast single mum has breathed a sigh of relief today, declaring her $100,000 win in today’s Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw is the end of her string of ‘bad luck’.

The Queenslander won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $100,000 in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10660, drawn Friday 26 August 2022.

The beachside resident had just returned from grocery shopping when an official from The Lott called this afternoon to reveal the life-enhancing news.

“Oh gosh! Wow!” she joyfully yelled.

“I’m in so much shock. I’m shaking.

“I just walked through the door after going grocery shopping.

“I didn’t expect to pick up the phone to this!

“This is definitely the most I’ve ever won.

“I’ve won about $1,000 before in Saturday Gold Lotto, but not $100,000!

“It’s come at the most perfect time.

“As a single mother, you have your ups and downs, so this has really changed my life.

“I can’t stop shaking! I’ll definitely open a bottle of bubbly tonight to celebrate!

“I’m going to pay down some bills and live a bit more comfortably!”

Her winning entry of five random numbers was purchased online at thelott.com – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.

The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $13.73 million for draw 1588, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $24.72 million for draw 10661.

In FY22, 169 Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize and Jackpot winning entries across Australia won more than $32.95 million.
