A Tannum Sands woman can’t wait to start renovations and create her dream living space after she bagged more than $200,000 in today’s Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw.
The Queenslander held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1661, drawn 16 April 2024.
As well as winning the 1st Prize of $200,000, the joyful woman also scored a consolation prize of $1,000.
“Thank you!” she cheered.
“It’s funny. I was just thinking over the weekend, ‘Jeez, wouldn’t that be nice if I won the 1st Prize!’.
“That’s great. I play Lucky Lotteries now and again. I hadn’t played in a little while, but I saw the Jackpot Prize was pretty impressive, so I thought I’d give it a go.
“It’s not the Jackpot Prize, but it’s certainly nice!
“It’s come at a great time! I’m moving houses, so I’ll be able to fix up the new place and do some renovations!
“It feels a bit surreal. I think once it hits my account, I’ll be able to celebrate a bit more.
“Thank you again! Time to ring mum, she’ll be stoked!”

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.
