Luck must run in the family of this Redfern man who recently gained an unexpected $100,000 windfall, two decades after another family member received a similarly unexpected blessing!
Twenty years ago, the Redfern man watched with joy as another family member also gained a surprise windfall. He said it’s been mind-blowing to think that it has happened in their family again.
“I’m lost for words!” the winner said. “I had to check my ticket five times before I accepted the fact that I’d won $100,000.”
The Redfern man played the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot and his numbers were drawn on Friday 8 July 2022. He bought his winning entry from the Redfern Newsagency at 130 Redfern St.
The staff at Redfern Newsagency has been over the moon after learning that their outlet sold a major prize-winning ticket. They wished the winner all the best for the future.
That future will likely involve a home renovation, as the winner said he has thought of where the money should go. He’s been saving for the upgrade for some time but now he has the extra funds to finally get his renovation plans off the ground.
He’s also planning to take his family on a holiday in Italy.
“I love playing, but this time I went away from my usual strategy,” he said.
“If I hadn’t done that, who knows, you might be calling someone else with this incredible news.
“Thank you so much! This just goes to show anyone can win.”
Per The Lott, the current Mega Jackpot prize is now at $12.05 million and the Super Mega Jackpot prize is at $17.96 million.
Some 127 first prize winners have won since 2021 across Australia. Winners draw numbers unique to them so there is no chance of sharing prizes.
