An inner-city Sydney dad has found himself lost for words after discovering he won $200,000 in a Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw earlier this week.

The New South Wales player won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1252, drawn Tuesday 19 March 2019.

Confirming his win with us this afternoon, the winner told us how he discovered his good fortune.

“Oh my god! That’s amazing!” he exclaimed.

“That’s so awesome. Thank you so much!

“I always buy a ticket when I go get my groceries and today I walked past the newsagency and realised I hadn’t checked my ticket. 

“I also saw that someone who had bought an entry there had won $200,000. 

“As I was standing there I did think to myself ‘wow, it would be so awesome to be the winner’.

“But I really can’t believe it’s me!

“I can’t even think straight.  I had no idea and I was certainly not expecting that news!”

The family man also told us he was too shocked to think of how he’d spend his prize but described the win as life-changing. 

“I really cannot believe it. I’ve got two young kids so this honestly changes everything,” he said.

“It will change my life.

“I have no idea how I’ll spend the prize. I’ve never thought about it but I do know it will help a lot.

The happy winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased his winning entry of one random number at Boag’s Newsagency, Shop 4 1-3 Botany Road, Waterloo.

Boag’s Newsagency owner Elizabeth Boag said she was thrilled for her customer. 

“We’ve been selling lottery tickets for 38 years and have sold many 1st Prize and division one winning entries,” she said.

“But the feeling of selling those winning entries never gets old.

“We’re absolutely delighted for him, we feel like we’ve won ourselves!”
