A hard-working Upper Coomera public servant has struggled to hold back tears upon hearing the news he won $100,000 in today’s Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw.

The Gold Coast man won the 1st Prize of $100,000 in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10542, drawn Tuesday 22 March 2022.

Straight after the draw, an official from The Lott broke the life-enhancing news to the Queensland man, who was busy at work and completely oblivious to his good fortune.

“Oh my god! I’m sorry, can I swear at you? Are you f***** serious?” he cried.

“This is so freaking cool! Oh my god – I’m crying, I’m shaking.

“I was just going about my day at work, and I had to pull over for this phone call. It will be so hard to concentrate for the rest of the day. This is amazing!

“I’ll have to tell my wife straight after this phone call. She will say it’s not true. I’ll just have to keep telling her, ‘No, we’ve won money!’.

“Seriously, I’ll tell you what, it’s been a difficult past year or so and this will change everything.

“We can put some money aside for the kids, and maybe travel in a new caravan. It’s been so tough, so we can take some time off and relax.

“I cook dinner all the time as my wife works in the afternoons, so it looks like we’re switching to takeout tonight to celebrate!

“I’m so grateful and blessed for this. This is the best day and you’ve made my year!

“You can call me anytime.”

His winning entry of 10 random numbers was purchased online at thelott.com – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.

The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $8.21 million for draw 1565, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $9.35 million for draw 10543.
