Spending more time with family is on the top of the agenda for an Iluka man who won $100,000 in a Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw.
The man discovered he won the guaranteed first prize of $100,000 in the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10769, drawn on April 21.
When an official from The Lott called to confirm the winning news, the man cheered ‘You Beauty’.
“I’ve never won anything like this,” he said.
“I got some correspondence from The Lott and just assumed it was a scam.
“It’s certainly not a scam!”
The man said he plays Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot every week and as he owns everything he has; it was time to travel to see loved ones.
“I’ll tell you what, I own everything I’ve got – all that’s left to do is take my wife on an overdue trip to see our nearest and dearest,” he said.
“It’s a wonderful, wonderful feeling.
“Thank you so much.”
The man’s winning entry of one random number was purchased at Pelicans Post, Iluka.
