When an official from The Lott called to confirm the win, the Mackay woman said, “I’m still in a little disbelief!”
She recalled: “Amazingly enough, I was sitting at home watching television when my friend called and told me there was a mystery Lucky Lotteries winner in our area. She asked where I usually buy my tickets and said she had a gut feeling that I might be the winner. I told her, ‘It can’t be me. No way!’”
Encouraged to check her tickets, she visited her local outlet: “They had the winning numbers on the counter and, lo and behold, they matched my ticket. We scanned the ticket to be sure, and I just went into shock. The outlet owner was pointing at me, jumping up and down, shouting, ‘You’re the winner! You’re the $100,000 winner!’ I was standing across from him in disbelief. It’s like my entire world froze for a minute. I couldn’t fall asleep that night because I was still in shock.”
She now looks forward to ticking off her to-do list: “There’s lots of house maintenance to do. I need a new kitchen and a fresh coat of paint around the place. It’s slowly starting to feel real now.”

Our local customers are over the moon to hear we’ve sold a major lottery prize. This marks our fifth biggest winning ticket here at Nightowl Slade Point within the last five years. The last time we sold a major prize-winning entry was back in September 2024, so it feels like we were due for a big win. Congratulations to our winner! We hope you enjoy your prize and spend wisely.”
