A Punchbowl man couldn’t stop saying ‘thank you’ after hearing the news he was now $200,000 richer after winning the 1st Prize in the latest Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw. 

Late Wednesday afternoon, the appreciative winner discovered he was the 1st Prize winner in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1082, drawn on 28 February 2018. 

Speaking to a NSW Lotteries official to confirm his prize, the man couldn’t help but laugh in shock.  

“Thank you!  $200,000! Very good news!” the man giggled as his wife laughed with him in the background. 

“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much!” 

When asked how the man planned to spend his Lucky Lotteries windfall, he confessed it had come at the perfect time. 

“It will help me pay off some debts and put a big deposit down on a house which we need for the family! 

“The whole family will be thrilled with the win! Thank you!”

The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased his entry of one number from Chullora Marketplace Newsagency, Shop 15A Chullora Marketplace, 355 Waterloo Road, Chullora. 

Chullora Marketplace Newsagency owner, Linda Khadour, said she was thrilled to have sold the outlets first major prize since taking ownership. 

“We took over in December of last year so just a few months ago and this is our first major prize we’ve sold,” she explained. 

“We’ve been waiting for a winner so we are so pleased it is a local and a regular customer. 

“Congratulations to the winner, we wish them all the best with their prize!”
