In case you missed it: Early retirement and celebratory dinners top winners plans
Just two weeks into the new year and some of our winners are ready to say goodbye to work forever thanks to their recent wins. What life-changing possibilities could come true if you scored a major lottery prize?
Check out our highlights below:
NSW couple ready to settle into retirement
A northern New South Wales couple were left in a state of shock after discovering they’d won $200,000 thanks to Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot.
“We don’t often check our tickets immediately because we’ve never entertained the idea that we’d actually win!” they told us.
“We’re semi-retired and have been trying to figure out how the coming years will look and what we need to do to prepare.
“Now that this has happened, it just feels like a huge weight has been lifted from our shoulders. You have no idea how much this means to us!”
Gifted ticket turns into $100,000 prize
A Beerwah man unwrapped the gift of a lifetime when he bagged a $100,000 Instant Scratch-Its top prize.
“I actually don’t play often but we were gifted a bunch of Instant Scratch-Its tickets from friends and family over Christmas,” he said.
“One of the prizes we got was a free $5 ticket and so we got that one, scratched it, and there it was! One hundred thousand dollars! We couldn’t believe it.
“I’m not sure how we’ll use our prize yet, but I think a nice dinner to celebrate will certainly be on the cards.”
Early retirement for Inverell couple
An Inverell couple can look forward to an early retirement after scoring a $100,000 prize in a recent Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw.
“I’m a regular player and have been for years. But this is the first big one! I’ve had free tickets and $50 wins here and there, but nothing like this,” the winning wife exclaimed.
“My husband and I might be able to retire a little earlier.
“It’s a great way to start 2024!”
Lifechanging Saturday Lotto win
A Lismore man had the call of a lifetime earlier this week after discovering his $1.4 million Saturday Lotto prize.
“Oh, mate. I wasn’t expecting this. It’s been a tough few years. You’ve changed my life!” the winning man said.
“I’ve been taking these numbers for a very long time – maybe 15 years or more. I don’t take them every week. I’m glad I took them this week!
“I’m stunned to tell you the truth! I don’t know what to say. It’s a big shock. I’m a bit shaken at the moment. I might have to sit back and relax after this call. I might have a cup of tea.”
That’s a wrap for this week. Could we be delighting you with some life-changing news next?
