A Merewether office worker has made her colleagues green with envy after this morning answering her work phone to the news she’s $200,000 richer.

The Newcastle woman won the guaranteed 1st Prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1226, drawn Monday 18 February 2019.

We contacted the winner this morning to break the exciting news just as she was settling into her working day.

“Oh my god, really?” she initially questioned.

“Really? Are you sure?

“You’ve really caught me off guard. I’m at work.

“That’s incredible. Thank you so much.

“I’m just really excited! I am shaking so much!

“All my colleagues can hear me. They are so excited too but so jealous!”

The woman revealed she’d been playing Lucky Lotteries regularly, watching the jackpot soar.

“The $43 million has been drawing me in, but $200,000, that’s just so great!” she laughed.

“I’d love to go on a holiday. I don’t know where but it won’t take me long to think of somewhere!”

The winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased her winning entry of one random number online at thelott.com – Australia’s official lotteries.
