A resident of the small town of Wentworth, New South Wales, has landed an astounding $200,000 win in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1625 on Wednesday, September 20, 2023.
Remarkably, this victory comes just three weeks after ten Powerball players from Wentworth became overnight multi-millionaires, adding to the town's series of good fortune.
When contacted by lottery officials, the winning woman was completely unaware of her windfall. Her reaction was so ecstatic that it startled her husband awake.
"Oh my gosh! I've won! I've won! Hallelujah! I've won $200,000 on a $5 ticket!" she exclaimed.
"My heart is beating so fast, and I'm shaking," she continued.
"My screams just woke my husband up. He and the dog are looking at me like I'm crazy. This is incredible."
The win holds special significance for the woman, who revealed that she and her husband have long dreamed of buying a caravan to travel around Australia.
"Every morning, we sit outside and talk about what we'd like to do if we won the lotto. We've always said we would buy a caravan and travel around Australia. Now we can!"
The woman's winning entry, a single random number, was purchased online on the official lottery website.
The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize now stands at $7.96 million for draw 1626, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize has reached $4.92 million for draw 10798.
