A Kingsgrove man’s “frustrating” Monday at work has been flipped on its head by a phone call from The Lott to confirm his $200,000 win in the latest Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw.
The Southern Sydney man held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1674 on Monday 27 May 2024.
“That’s awesome news!” the man cried when an official from The Lott confirmed his prize shortly after the draw.
“Wow! You’ve made my day.
“I was having a frustrating day at work when you rang. It’s a nice little surprise!
“This is the best news I’ve had in a while!
“I’ve played Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot for years, but recently I started playing Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot because I saw the Jackpot Prize was getting bigger.
“I can’t believe it. This is the first big win I’ve ever had.
“I’m ecstatic!
“We’ll use this to buy a house – that’s the deposit right there.
“This is the best call I’ve ever had. You’ve got a great job spreading happiness everywhere!”
The man’s winning entry of five consecutive numbers was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $19.72 million for draw 1675, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $1.67 million for draw 10853.
In 2023, 117 Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize and Jackpot winning entries across Australia won more than $20.6 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.
