The Tricks and Hacks to Winning the Lottery

A woman’s response to winning $200,000 had to largely be beeped out. She was one of three North Queensland winners who won thousands of dollars playing the Lotto and Keno.

A Majors Creek woman couldn’t stop swearing when she received the news she had won $200,000 in the latest Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw on Monday.

“Holy f***! Did I really?” she screamed when contacted by a Lott official.

“This is insane. Sorry for swearing so much, I am just gobsmacked.”

When asked how she planned on spending her new fortune, the winner who wished to remain anonymous admitted she already knew exactly what she was going to do.

“I really want to do some renovations on my house. I will share some with my kids, as well,” she said.

In another spectacular win, a Townsville man is $89,697.90 richer after coming forward to claim his Keno Mega Millions 8 Spot win almost a week after the game.

The man bought the winning entry at the Dalrymple Hotel on July 11.

Confirming his win with an official from Keno on Monday morning, the man said he was shocked to discover he’d been holding onto a ticket.

“It wasn’t until I went back to the venue over the weekend and they told me that they were still looking for the winner that I remembered I hadn’t checked my Keno tickets,” he said. “I scanned it, and there it was $89,000.”

He also plans on renovating his house and working on his car and bike.

A Cloncurry man won $56,000 playing Keno on Saturday.

He plans on going on a holiday with his win, visiting family across Queensland.
