A Toowoomba woman won’t be letting Cyclone Alfred rain her parade, winning an incredible $100,000 in today’s Lucky Lotteries draw.
A spokeswoman for The Lott said the woman was in the middle of cleaning her home when she got the news, leaving her pacing around in disbelief.
“The winning woman was completely oblivious to her new-found treasure and was in the middle cleaning out her aircon filter when an official from The Lott called to confirm her prize,” she said.
“The Darling Downs resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10938, drawn Tuesday 4 March 2025. She also received three consolation prizes, boosting her total win to $101,017.”
The woman told the Lott she planned to use the money practically on long planned renovations and her mortgage.
“It’s a blessing,” she said.
“It will go to great use around our house. We have lots of renovations we’d like to do.
“As boring as it is to say, it will be fantastic to take a chunk out of our mortgage.”
When receiving the news about her win, she said, “gosh! I can’t believe it,”.
“Far out! That’s amazing.
“I’ve just been hanging around the house today in a bit of a cleaning frenzy.
“I kept hearing my phone ringing in the other room, and when I had a closer look, I saw your missed calls, your text message, and email.
“Gosh. It was so surreal.
“I’ve been pacing around the house ever since trying to wrap my head around it.”
The Lott spokeswoman said her winning entry of two consecutive numbers was purchased online through The Lott app.
“In 2024, more than 195.3 million winners took home more than $4.84 billion in prize money from their favourite games at The Lott,” she said
“Last financial year, Australia’s official lotteries contributed more than $1.8 billion via state lottery taxes and donations to help community initiatives, such as hospitals, health research, disaster relief and education.”
