A group of eight Newcastle workmates couldn’t contain their excitement as they leapt from their desks after discovering they’d won a thrilling 100,000 in today’s Lucky Lotteries draw.

The Hunter region residents held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10932, drawn Thursday 20 February 2025. The group are set to share the total prize of $100,000.

The private syndicate leader shared the group had been treating themselves to one lottery ticket each week – all awaiting a life-enhancing win like this one.

“Oh my god! Wow!” the cheery syndicate leader exclaimed.

“That’s amazing!

“I’m shouting to my co-workers that we’ve won $100,000. Everyone’s jumping up and down at their desks.

“This is a work syndicate, with eight of us contributing to a ticket each week.

“We like to try all the games, but recently we’ve been trying Lucky Lotteries.

“It seems like we should’ve been giving it a crack a while ago.

“Oh wow! The office has completely exploded with excitement - everyone’s over the moon!

“A few of our syndicate members aren’t in the office today, so I’ll have to give them a call after this.

“I’m sure they’ll be thrilled.

“I’m going on a holiday soon, so this is going to help so much.”

Their winning entry of one random number was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.

The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $4.60 million for draw 1687, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $12.07 million for draw 10933.

In FY24, 147 Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize and Jackpot winning entries across Australia won more than $53.4 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 FY24, more than 132.8 million winners took home more than $4.4 billion in prize money from their favourite games at The Lott, including Saturday 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.
