A Quakers Hill man has confessed his body went into total shock after lottery officials called and revealed the life-enhancing news that he’d scored $200,000 in a recent Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot.
The western Sydney resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1726, drawn Friday 17 October 2025 and looks forward to $200,000.
“Oh my goodness, I’ve never won anything before!” he said when an official from The Lott called to confirm the news straight after the draw.
“This is a total shock to the system.
“I honestly don’t know what to do with myself. Two hundred thousand dollars is a lot of money.
“I’ve had a lot of health issues in the past, and I’m really lucky to be here today, so this is just great news.
“I have ongoing health issues, and this will help a lot with bills.
“I might even go on a long holiday, which is something I never thought I’d be able to do.
“There’s a lot I could do. I’m really thankful for the call, thank you.”
His winning entry of three consecutive numbers was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $14.80 million for draw 1727, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $1.02 million for draw 11044.
In FY25, 182 Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize and Jackpot Prize winning entries across Australia won more than $20.5 million.
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.
