Airlie Beach Woman Scores $100,000 In Lottery

An Airlie Beach woman’s lunch break took an unexpected turn after she opened her phone and discovered she’d won $100,000 in today’s Lucky Lotteries draw, leaving her lost for words.

The Whitsunday resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10988, drawn on Tuesday 27 May 2025. She is now looking forward to receiving a total prize of $100,000.

"Woo-hoo! That’s unbelievable!” she cheered when an official from The Lott confirmed her win.

“I’m on lunch break right now, and when I opened my phone and saw I had multiple missed calls, texts, and an email from The Lott. I thought to myself, ‘What the heck is going on?’.

“Now I’m here and you’re telling me I won $100,000! I’m in complete shock right now.

“I usually enter other lottery games, but something told me to give Lucky Lotteries a go.

“I don’t know what to even say right now. All I can think is that it’s going to be a huge help.

“I’m not entirely sure what we’ll do with the money just yet, but I’d love to get a new car.

“I can’t wait to surprise my husband tonight. I don’t think he’ll believe me.”

Her winning entry of ten random numbers was purchased via The Lott app, the official home of Australia’s lotteries.

The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is currently $6.04 million for draw 1703, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot stands at $19.35 million for draw 10989.
