A Townsville man is dining his way into the week and ready to spoil his canine companion after discovering he bagged $200,000 in a recent Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw.
 
The winning North Queenslander scored the 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1672, drawn Tuesday 21 May 2024.
 
“Thank you! I’m very pleased with that,” he laughed when we called to confirm the wondrous news.
 
“I just checked my tickets 20 minutes ago. I can’t believe it.
 
“That’s excellent!
 
“I’ve been playing lotteries for over 15 years. The most I’ve won is four hundred dollars, so this is great.”
 
When asked how he planned to use his newfound fortune, the winning man was too stunned to make any immediate decisions but hinted at spoiling his nearest and dearest.
 
“Honestly, I’m not sure!” he said.
 
“I think I’ll need some time to think about it. Once the win has sunk in, I’ll be able to think clearly.
 
“I’ll probably spoil the family dog.
 
“Perhaps a dinner this week to celebrate could be nice too, but other than that, I’m stumped.”
 
His winning entry of four random numbers was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
