“I’m the happiest person right now!”: Hillston man’s day turns golden with $100,000 Lucky Lotteries payday

It was just the thing to warm up a Hillston man’s week; discovering he’d scored $100,000 in a recent Lucky Lotteries draw. 

The lucky man scored first prize in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 11005, drawn Tuesday June.


“Wait a minute. You’re calling me from The Lott?!” the winning man excitedly said, when called.


 “You’re not pulling my leg, are you?


 “Wow! One hundred thousand dollars?! That’s incredible.


 “I had no clue this is what you were calling me about.


 “It’s been a cold and miserable day, and this news is just great.


 “I’m the happiest person right now! This memory will stay with me forever.


 “I’m going to kick back and relax for the rest of the day.”


 With a $100,000 boost heading his way, the cheery man wasted no time planning how he’d put his prize to good use.


 “I’ll buy a new car,” he said.


 “I’ve been wanting to upgrade mine for a while now. This takes all the hassle out of it.”


 His winning entry of 10 consecutive numbers was purchased via The Lott app. 


In 2024, 147 Lucky Lotteries first prize and jackpot winning entries across Australia won more than $52.2 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.


  In 2024, more than 195.3 million winners took home more than $4.84 billion in prize money from their favourite games in Australian lotteries.
