A Broken Hill man has received the ultimate early birthday present when a call from lottery officials revealed he’d won $200,000 in yesterday’s Lucky Lotteries draw.
The New South Wales resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1738, drawn Monday 1 December 2025. He looks forward to $200,000.
Incredibly, the winning man admitted he had a powerful feeling that a ‘life-changing surprise’ was about to enter his life in the days leading up to his win.
“Two hundred thousand dollars? Oh boy!” the winning man questioned when an official from The Lott called to confirm the winning news.
“That’s so fantastic!
“I’m going to sound crazy, but I actually had a premonition while I was at church the other day. I just had a strong feeling that a life-changing surprise was coming my way.
“Honestly, I could feel it was coming.”
The stunned man couldn’t help but erupt into screams of joy when an official from The Lott revealed his prize payment date.
“You’re joking me, that’s my birthday!” he exclaimed.
“This is great for me, just in time for Christmas.”
With a $200,000 birthday payday heading his way, the cheery man wasted no time dreaming of all the things he’d like to do with his prize.
“There’s so many things I could do,” he said.
“I could do with a new car, and I’ve been looking at houses, so who knows!”
His winning entry of two random numbers was purchased on The Lott website – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
