A woman from Dandenong was surprised to learn that a phone call she initially believed related to her click-and-collect order was instead a $200,000 win in a Lucky Lotteries draw.
 
The Melbourne resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1719, drawn Thursday 18 September 2025 and looks forward to a dreamy $200,000.
 
Remarkably, the winning woman scored the 1st Prize win on a free ticket she won from an earlier draw.
 
“I’m very happy you’ve called me back!” she screamed when we called.
 
“I’ll be honest, I thought you were calling about my click and collect order the first time. Then I listened to your voicemail, and I couldn’t believe I’d ignored a lottery official.

“I’m over the moon! It’s life-changing for my family.

“Unbelievably, it was a free ticket that I won on. It goes to show, you really only need one number to be in it with a chance to win.
 
“I’m just speechless right now.”
 
With $200,000 soon to boost her bank account, the winning woman was looking forward to giving her bathroom some overdue attention.
 
“Right about now, my ensuite is very happy I’ve won $200,000,” she said.
 
“After 31 years, we’ll finally be able to give it a renovation.
 
“This is just fantastic! It’s so welcomed and we’re feeling very grateful.”
 
The winning free ticket was from The Lott website – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
