Almost three weeks after the winning numbers were drawn, a Birtinya man was floored to discover he’d pocketed a $100,000 Lucky Lotteries prize at the start of the month.
 
The Sunshine Coast resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10954, drawn Thursday 3 April 2025.
 
When we called to confirm the winning news, the longtime player shared he was still overwhelmed and completely blown away by his win.
 
“I’ve been pretty excited! It’s pretty amazing!” he shared.
 
“I’ve been in total shock and surprise since I checked the ticket at the newsagent.
 
“I can’t believe it took me so long to check my ticket. I was completely oblivious beforehand.
 
“I usually register all my entries, but this one was a quick entry I bought in a rush with some spare change.
 
“It wasn’t until I was clearing out my wallet the other day that I thought I should check my tickets.

“When I got the newsagency to check this one, they said, ‘It looks like you’ve won something big’, and I said back to the guy, ‘You’ve got to be sh*tting me!’.

“I was completely blown away and shocked.
 
“There are a few things we want to do with the money. We’ll start by organising a holiday!”
 
His winning entry was purchased at Birtinya News & Gifts, Shop 2, Stockland Birtinya, 8 The Avenue, Birtinya.
 
Birtinya News & Gifts owner Jono Milligan shared he was excited to hear his outlet had sold their first major prize-winning entry worth $100,000.
 
“We were so excited to hear that a customer won $100,000 on a ticket purchased here,” he said.
 
“It's the first major prize-winning ticket we’ve ever sold since opening the store six years ago!
 
“We’re stoked that the winner has come forward and can now start enjoying their prize.
 
“On behalf of the entire team, we wish our winner a big congratulations and hope they have a great year celebrating!”
