A woman from Tea Gardens took a leaf out of her sister’s book and bought her very first Lucky Lotteries ticket, which led her to a sensational $100,000 win in the recent draw.
The Mid-Coast resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10964, drawn Tuesday 22 April 2025.
So far in 2025, there have been 15 major lottery wins in the Hunter and Central Coast region that have collectively taken home more than $6.39 million in prize money.
The winning woman was on her way to a doctor’s appointment when a call from lottery officials prompted her to check her ticket.
“Oh my! I’m in shock!” she exclaimed.
“I can’t believe this. Thank you! Thank you!
“I’m about to go to the doctor’s when you called, and then I’m off to a lunch with friends. I’ll have to pop open a bottle of champagne now!
“I bought the ticket on the spur-of-the-moment. My sister likes Lucky Lotteries, and I thought I’d give it a go. I’ve never purchased one before!
“Oh wow! I never expected to win the major prize.
“My husband is joking around and saying that I won’t get a cent - in his dreams!”
Her winning entry of 8 random numbers was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
