A Toowoomba woman’s routine house clean turned into the ultimate sweep after discovering she’d won $100,000 in today’s Lucky Lotteries draw, leaving her stunned and pacing around her house in disbelief.

The Darling Downs resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10938, drawn Tuesday 4 March 2025. She also received three consolation prizes, boosting her total win to $101,017.

The winning woman was completely oblivious to her newfound treasure and was in the middle cleaning out her aircon filter when an official from The Lott called to confirm her prize.

My day is better now that you’re calling!” the winning woman cheered.

“Gosh! I can’t believe it.

“Far out! That’s amazing.

“I’ve just been hanging around the house today in a bit of a cleaning frenzy. I was changing our aircon filters when you called earlier.

“I kept hearing my phone ringing in the other room, and when I had a closer look, I saw your missed calls, your text message, and email.

“Gosh. It was so surreal.

“I’ve been pacing around the house ever since trying to wrap my head around it.”

With her bank account about to be boosted in the coming weeks, the gleeful winner is looking forward to ticking off house renovations and taking a chunk out of her mortgage.

“It will go to great use around our house. We have lots of renovations we’d like to do,” she shared.

“As boring as it is to say, it will be fantastic to take a chunk out of our mortgage.

“It’s a blessing. Thank you!”

Her winning entry of two consecutive numbers was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.

The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $4.84 million for draw 1698, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $12.85 million for draw 10939.

In 2024, 147 Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize and Jackpot winning entries across Australia won more than $52.2 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.

The official home of Australia’s lotteries, The Lott operates and markets Australia’s leading lottery games customers know and love creating everyday winners, winning every day.

In 2024, more than 195.3 million winners took home more than $4.84 billion in prize money from their favourite games at The Lott, including Saturday Gold Lotto, Weekday Windfall, Powerball, Oz Lotto, Set for Life, Lucky Lotteries, Keno (SA), Super 66, Lotto Strike and Instant Scratch-Its.

Last financial year, Australia’s official lotteries contributed more than $1.8 billion via state lottery taxes and donations to help community initiatives, such as hospitals, health research, disaster relief and education.
