A Mackay woman’s week took an unforgettable turn after discovering she’d won $200,000 on November 3rd, in a Monday Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw. The surprise left her shouting with excitement and declaring her love for the lottery official who broke the news.
The North Queensland resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1730, drawn Monday 3 November 2025, securing a dreamy $200,000.
“I love you! You’ve just become my instant bestie!” she cheered when an official from The Lott called to reveal her prize.
“I’m standing outside my work at the moment, and I’m trying my best to contain my excitement.
“I can’t believe it!
“I noticed I had a missed call and text from you earlier today and I got a little excited, but I told myself I wouldn’t be convinced until I heard it straight from the horse’s mouth.
“Now that you’ve confirmed the win, it’s starting to feel real.
“I can’t wait to tell my partner the good news.”
With her $200,000 payday, the overjoyed winner shared she can now finally pack her bags and take a long-awaited holiday.
“You know what, this has come at a great time! My partner and I have been talking about doing some travel in the near future,” she said.
“It always felt a little distant until now. Italy has definitely been on our wish list.
“I’m sure a few things might change with $200,000 in the bank.”
Her winning entry of five random numbers was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
The Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot prize is now $15.76 million for draw 1731, while the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot sits at $1.28 million for draw 11046.
