An Umina Beach man can officially say goodbye to the Monday blues after discovering his $200,000 win in the Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw. A simple email prompting him to check his ticket turned a mundane day into an unforgettable one.
The Central Coast local scored the 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1676, drawn Monday 3 June 2024.
The winning man declared he was having a ‘boring Monday’ until he received an email encouraging him to check his Lucky Lotteries ticket.
“That’s such great news. Definitely not something I’d expect for my Monday!” he laughed.
“Mondays usually suck, but maybe it’s my new favourite day!
“I like to buy one ticket into the Lucky Lotteries draws every week. I never expected to land the 1st Prize!
“I wanted to get confirmation of the news before I started telling people but now, I’ll be making some phone calls and maybe a celebratory beer tonight.”
The New South Welshman already started to daydream about the potential prospects that $200,000 could hold for him, including a snowy overseas trip and paying off the mortgage.
“I’ll put it towards an overseas ski trip!” he shared.
“And a bit boring, but I’ll put it towards paying off the mortgage too.”
His 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 $20.20 million for draw 1678, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $1.80 million for draw 10854.
In 2023, 117 Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize and Jackpot winning entries across Australia won more than $20.6 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.
