A Thornleigh man has confessed he’ll need to cut his workday short after discovering the heart-racing news he’d won $100,000 in today’s Lucky Lotteries draw from a free ticket.
The Upper North Shore region resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot 10912, drawn Tuesday 7 January 2025. He looks forward to a total prize of $100,000.00.
When an official from The Lott revealed his prize straight after the draw, the cheery man shared he couldn’t believe a free ticket had led him to a major lottery loot, leaving him overwhelmed with excitement.
“Did I just win $100,000?!” the winning man questioned.
“Are you kidding?! That’s fantastic!
“What a day! I’ve barely even started work and already so much has happened.
“I can’t believe my win was from a free ticket. What are the odds of that?!
“I’m overwhelmed with excitement.
“I’ll be able to take a solid chunk off my mortgage.
“I think I’m going to have to leave work early — I’m just too excited.”
His winning entry of one random number was from The Lott website – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $4.12 million for draw 1695, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $9.47 million for draw 10913.

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.
