An Alexandria woman’s recent house move took an unexpected turn when she unearthed a forgotten Lucky Lotteries ticket she received as a Christmas gift almost a year ago, only to discover it’s worth more than $100,000.
 
The New South Wales resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10820, drawn Thursday 28 December 2023, and took home a total prize of $102,000.
 
When speaking with us nearly a year on from her win, the cheery woman thanked her lucky stars for re-uniting her with her winning ticket.
 
“Oh my goodness!” the winning woman cheered when officials from The Lott revealed her prize.
 
“It’s an incredible surprise.
 
“I can’t believe it took me nearly a year to discover my win!
 
“It’s a funny story - the ticket was a Christmas present from my mum last year, and I only just re-discovered the ticket when I was moving house recently.
 
“I was clearing out my bedside drawers when I found the ticket.
 
“Luckily, my intuition told me to keep the ticket and check it.
 
“Can you imagine if I’d completely forgotten about it?!
 
“I can’t believe it!
 
“This has to be the best Christmas present ever!”
 
Her winning entry was purchased at Eastwood Centre Newsagency, 160 Rowe Street, Eastwood.
