Despite still struggling to process his unbelievably lucky break, a Redcliffe man has made plans to pay off some of his bills after receiving a $100,000 windfall.
The ecstatic winner still needs to convince himself that he won big and had to keep checking the draw’s results for confirmation. He won at the Super Jackpot draw on Friday, 21 October 2022.
“I’m still struggling to process [my win],” the Redcliffe man said. “But this means I’ll be able to pay off some bills and it’s going to set me up for the future, which is fantastic.”
The Redcliff man has been buying and playing online via TheLott‘s official site and actually bought two random numbers on the day he won.
“I just think, ‘oh, you never know.’ I’m just so thankful.”
To date, more than 169 lucky Australians have won the first prize, totaling over $32 million. The Super Jackpot’s prize money is now at $33.045 million while the Mega Jackpot prize is at $1 million.
Per TheLott, “Each game has two draws – one that determines the winning numbers and one that determines the jackpot number. If the jackpot number matches one of the winning numbers, then the Jackpot Prize is won. If the jackpot number does not match one of the winning numbers, the Jackpot Prize will climb to the next draw.”
