A woman from Riverwood couldn’t contain her excitement at having her work day interrupted by the discovery she’s now $200,000 richer, declaring: “You’ve absolutely made my day!”.
The southern Sydney resident won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1147, drawn on Tuesday 23 October 2018.
The winner was busily going about her work day when a NSW Lotteries official rang to deliver the dream-come-true news.
“Thank you so much! You’ve absolutely made my day!” she exclaimed.
“I don’t think I’ve ever given anyone my undivided attention as much as I am to you right now.
“It’s overwhelming.”
The regular Lucky Lotteries player shared she already knew what she would do now she was a 1st Prize winner.
“First, I’ll be guarding this ticket with my life,” she laughed.
“I’ll probably pay off the mortgage. This will take a big chunk of it and it will be a big weight off my shoulders.
“I’m sure I’ll manage to find a little treat for myself too.”
The winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased her entry of one random number at Lucky Len, Shop 35, Riverwood Plaza, 257 Belmore Road, Riverwood.
Lucky Len owner Martin Ali said it was always a pleasure to hear of another winner at his outlet.
“That’s great news. We have lovely customers so we’re always happy when they win,” he said.
“We’re a family-owned business and we’re always really positive – perhaps that’s why we have so many winners.
“This is our fourth Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize winning entry we’ve sold since we’ve been here, which was about five years ago. That’s almost one a year.”
The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $24.28 million for draw 1148 while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot is now $890,000 for draw 10253.
