A Taree man has unwrapped the best birthday surprise after a ticket gifted by his beloved grandchildren scored him $100,000 in today’s Lucky Lotteries draw.
 
The New South Wales resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10907, drawn Friday 27 December 2024 and pocketed $100,000.
 
“Oh wow!” the winning grandfather cheered.

“That’s amazing. Are you serious? You’re not tricking us, are you?

“Thank you very much. It was my birthday, and I got a bunch of tickets from the grandkids.
 
“I never know what I want, so I just say, ‘Just get me lottery tickets!’.
 
“It’s not a million dollars, but it’s life-changing for us old folk.
 
“We live in an older house so we could do with a new roof or some solar panels. It’s endless really.
 
“What great news just after Christmas too. Thank you so much.”
 
His winning entry of nine random was purchased from Taree Lotto, K2, Manning Mall, 81 Manning Street, Taree.
 
The Taree Lotto team said they couldn’t be happier for their winning customer and wished them all the best.
