A Darwin woman in her 20s is ready to buy her first home after today discovering she is $200,000 richer from the latest Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw.

The thrilled winner won the guaranteed 1st Prize in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1120, drawn Wednesday 22 August 2018.

When speaking with a Tatts official this afternoon to claim her prize, the young woman admitted she initially thought her win was a scam, but is now relishing her good fortune.

“Now I am really excited, but I am also still nervous. I have the shakes. I just keep thinking, ‘oh my god, $200,000 – that is cool!’” she said.

“It’s really great because it’s not something that happens every day.

“I always thought ‘you have to be in it to win it’, but never really thought it would happen to me.

“It’s crazy because this is the first Lucky Lotteries ticket I have ever bought. I saw the jackpot was rising and I thought I would give it a go.

“I am feeling overwhelmed at the moment. It’s so surreal, but so beautiful.”

When asked how she planned to spend her Lucky Lotteries prize, the Darwin woman declared she would immediately start looking for her first home to buy.

“I live with my family, so it is going to go straight toward a deposit on a house,” she said.

“It’s amazing because I can finally have my own home! I have been wanting to move out of my family’s home, but I haven’t been able to afford to buy anything. Well, now I can.”

The winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased her entry of ten random numbers online at thelott.com – Australia’s official lotteries.

The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize has now jackpotted to $17.80 million for the next draw 1121, and the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize continues to climb offering $1.54 million in the next draw 10243.
