This week brought a wave of surprises for our winners, with free-ticket victories and an incredible cosmic coincidence. Catch up on this week’s winning moments:

Free ticket unlocks thrilling 1st Prize win

A Coffs Harbour man’s free bonus ticket from a Powerball entry remarkably delivered him a $100,000 win in a recent Lucky Lotteries draw. The ecstatic man was absolutely thrilled with his prize and couldn’t believe he didn’t even pay for the winning ticket.   

“Oh my god! I still can’t believe it!” the winning man cried.

“Wow! I went in to check my ticket and it came up saying I need to call The Lott. They said, ‘I think you’ve just won $100,000!’.  I said, ‘What?! No!’.

“I didn’t even pay for the ticket. I bought a Powerball ticket, and I got this free bonus ticket, and that’s what I won.

“I guess it was just meant to be.”

Million-dollar cosmic coincidence

Meanwhile, in Queensland a Gympie woman took the leap and purchased a Saturday Lotto ticket after her mum insisted her star sign was in a ‘lucky season’. To her own surprise, she held a division one winning ticket worth an astronomical $1.2 million.

“Get f*****! I have tears in my eyes!” she laughed.

“My mum is really into star signs, and she told me that I should purchase a lottery ticket because it’s in a lucky period. I don’t purchase tickets regularly; this is a one-off.

“This is insane. I’m in shock.

“I’ve always wanted to take my little one to Iceland for Christmas to see the Northern Lights and visit Santa. I think he would lose his little mind!”

Restless night leads to wonderful Weekday Windfall discovery

Also in Queensland, a Hervey Bay man who was tossing and turning through the night, found an even bigger reason to stay awake after discovering his million-dollar Weekday Windfall win.

“I couldn’t sleep in the wee hours of the morning, and I decided to have a look at my Weekday Windfall ticket,” he explained.

“I couldn’t believe it. I think I’ve looked at the ticket about 100 times.

“I woke my wife up shortly after that. It was 3:30am and she wasn’t having a bar of it. She didn’t believe it.

“What a shock to the system!”
