A Wangaratta woman has turned her late father’s long-held dream of winning Lucky Lotteries into reality, after discovering she’d scored $100,000 in today’s Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw.

The Hume region resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 11034, drawn Tuesday 12 August 2025. She looks forward to a neat $100,000.

When an official from The Lott called to confirm her life-enhancing win, the stunned woman couldn’t help but burst into tears as she came to terms with the sentimental news.

“Oh my lord. I’m a bit shaky,” she said.

“What’s going on?! The suspense is killing me.

Oh golly! Did I really just win $100,000?!

“You’re not going to believe this, but my dad played Lucky Lotteries for 80-odd years, and he passed away just a couple of weeks ago.

“Thanks, Dad! We did it at last!

“It’s so surreal to win. You always dream of it but can never fully grasp this feeling until it happens.”

With $100,000 soon to boost her bank account, the gleeful woman had a few ideas on how she’d put her newfound treasure to good use.

“Oh look, this is just amazing!

“We might look to upgrade our house or help family.

“I’m sure my husband will pull me into line and want to do something very thought-out.”

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

The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $11.2 million for draw 1712, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $1.41 million for draw 11035.

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.
