A Wetherill Park woman’s decision to check some old lottery tickets has paid off, revealing a $100,000 Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize.
The Sydneysider held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10658 on Thursday 25 August 2022.
However, it was only this morning that the winner discovered her win.
“I got a letter from The Lott, but I thought it was fraudulent like everything else these days,” she laughed.
“But I thought I’d go through some old tickets and just check. I can’t believe it!
“I’m so excited. I’m a bit numb.
“I don’t want to get my hopes up too high. I won’t really believe it until it’s in my bank account.
“It’s just come at the perfect time and will help with school fees and other bills.
“I’d also love to take the family on a holiday.
“Times have been tough during COVID, but hopefully, this is a sign of good things to come!”
Her winning entry of one random number was purchased at The Lucky Charm – Wetherill Park, Shop 86, Stockland Wetherill Park, 561-583 Polding Street, Wetherill Park.

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.
