A Goulburn man’s quiet post-work snooze turned into a dream come true after he was jolted awake by the thrilling news he’d scored $100,000 in today’s Lucky Lotteries draw.
 
The Southern Tablelands resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10971, drawn Friday 2 May 2025. He looks forward to a neat $100,000.
 
So far in 2025, there have been eight major lottery wins in the Illawarra and Southeast New South Wales region that have collectively taken home more than $2.96 million in prize money.
 
“Sorry if I sound a bit groggy! I just finished night shift,” he said.
 
“I just saw my phone kept lighting up and I thought it could be something important.

“I don’t mind being woken up to be told that I’ve won $100,000.

“This is much better than my normal alarm.
 
“This is fantastic news. I’m feeling wide awake now.”
 
The elated winner shared he’d be putting his prize towards a fresh set of wheels to get him around town.
 
“I’ve been wanting to get a new car, so this is great timing,” he revealed.
 
“The rest will sit in a bank account and provide some of peace of mind.”
 
His winning entry of two random numbers was purchased on The Lott website – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
