With summer on the horizon, we've seen some blistering-hot wins sizzle across the country this week! Whether our winners planned to spread the joy or spoil someone special, these surprise wins brought a ray of sunshine into their lives. Take a look at how these big moments brightened their week:

Sun, sand and surprises

A Darwin man’s summer escape became a season to remember when a phone call turned his holiday into a $1.2 million TattsLotto celebration.

“Thank you very much! I’m away on holidays, and I noticed I had a couple of missed calls and a text message,” he admitted.

“I almost didn’t let it phase me, but I logged into my online account with The Lott and checked my ticket. That’s when I saw I had won $1.2 million!”

Lucky Lotteries priceless love

Our NSW Lucky Lotteries winners this week were nearly speechless at their major wins, but their hearts were full as they shared their prizes with loved ones. A Toormina grandmother, thrilled by her $100,000 Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot win, burst into laughter when we delivered the news.

“I don’t know what to say,” she laughed.

“Wow! That was completely unexpected. Without a doubt, this will go towards spoiling my grandchildren rotten.

“They deserve the world! It’s nice to know I’ll have this set of money to help them.”

And a Cronulla mum was left ‘stuck for words’ when her shared Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot ticket scored over $100,000. She explained that she would dedicate the win to her daughter, who’s been going through tough times recently.

“I’m stuck for words for once in my life,” she confessed.

“Recently, my daughter has been having a really rough time, so I started buying lottery tickets for us to share.

“It feels like this win was meant for her. It’s going to brighten her day and give her some hope.”

Keno win opens new doors

A Hillbank man’s lottery dreams finally came to shine when he hit the Keno Spot 9 jackpot, landing him $300,000 and a trip to The Lott headquarters’ winner’s lounge—a place he’d only dreamed of.

“I couldn’t believe it. I was looking at the draw numbers and I thought, ‘Hang on, they look like mine!’. I was shocked,” he explained.

“It was magic! It’s going to help more than you know.

“This will pretty much pay off our mortgage! We thought we’d be working until we’re 80 to pay it off but this changes everything.

“A couple of months ago I won $5,000. I went to The Lott headquarters, and I saw the winner’s lounge and I thought, ‘I want to be in there one day’. Now my dream has come true!”
