"Ray of sunshine" in surprise call
Words by Nick Crockford

After a tough trot, a North Lakes man was suddenly celebrating today thanks to a phone call from The Lott.

The man was running errands when the call came through that he’d won $100,000 in the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw.

“That’s excellent!” he said to an official from The Lott, adding: “Wow! That’s just great news.

“I’ve been dealing with some bad news recently, so this means a lot. It feels like a ray of sunshine.

“I have no idea what I’ll do with the prize right now. I’m still wrapping my head around it all.

“I was just about to get a bunch of errands completed, but I think I’ll just head home and put my feet up for the afternoon.

“Thank you so much!”

His winning entry of 10 random numbers was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.

The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot  prize is now $2.92 million for draw 1690, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot prize is now $5.96 for draw 10886.

In FY24, 147 Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize and Jackpot winning entries across Australia won more than $53.4 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.

Tickets can be purchased at any licenced lottery outlet, online from thelott.com or via The Lott mobile app.
