A Surrey Downs newlywed is celebrating more than a life of wedded bliss after discovering he won $200,000 in today’s Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw.

The Adelaide local won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1271, drawn 8 April 2019.

Sharing his disbelief with a SA Lotteries official this morning when confirming the win, the newly-married man declared his prize had come at an ideal time.

“Holy sh*t! That is so good! Thank you!” he exclaimed ecstatically.

“I just had a wedding! Today is my first day back at work after the honeymoon so this is great timing!

“It’s so crazy! The best news I’ve had in ages. The wedding and honeymoon were good but this is great!

“I only ever play the lottery every now and again and just added Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot as an added ticket because it looked good!

“I didn’t even know you could win the guaranteed first prize!”

When asked how he planned to enjoy his Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot windfall, the overjoyed man confessed he already had a few ideas on how to use it.

“It will help us pay off the wedding!” he laughed.

“I’ll also be sensible and put some towards my home loan but you definitely have to splash it somewhere.

“I think I’ll be getting a new car. A nice four-wheel drive I think!”

The stoked man, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased his winning one random number online at thelott.com – Australia’s official lotteries.
