An East Mackay man is finding it hard to believe that his free bonus ticket has won him a marvellous $200,000 prize in a recent Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw.
 
The North Queenslander held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1684 drawn Wednesday 24 July 2024.
 
The winning man was overjoyed by the winning news and told us that the prize was the perfect amount for him to be mortgage-free.
 
“You’ve got to be sh***ing me!” he laughed.
 
“How much have I won? Two hundred grand? Can you repeat that again?
 
“Hooley dooley! Wow! Just wow!
 
“That’s the perfect amount. That’s exactly what I need to make me mortgage-free.

“People always laugh at me for playing lottery games — I’ve always told them that one day I’d win. Funny that!

“I’m feeling bloody fantastic!
 
“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”
