A Launceston woman has listened to her intuition and finally checked her Lucky Lotteries ticket from nearly two weeks ago – only to discover she was the mystery winner who’d scored $100,000.
 
The north Tasmanian resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 11026, drawn Friday 11 July 2025. She looks forward to a total prize of $100,000.
 
When we called to confirm the thrilling news, the winning woman confessed she’d been walking around completely oblivious to the fact she’d been holding a winning ticket worth $100,000 in her purse.
 
“Oh my god! Oh my god! You’re joking?!” she screamed.
 
“Okay, okay, wow! Give me a moment to compose myself.
 
“This is just fabulous. What great news.
 
“I’ve been thinking for days that I needed to check this ticket and thank goodness I did!

“I heard there was a mystery winner in the area, but I never thought it would be me.

“I often share tickets with some of my friends, but this one I bought unregistered because it was just for me.
 
“I’m stunned that I’ve had $100,000 sitting in my purse this entire time.
 
“I can’t wait to tell my husband. I don’t’ think he’s going to believe me.
 
“I feel so grateful right now.”
 
With $100,000 heading her way, the winning woman had one thing top of mind - buying a beautiful casserole dish she’d been eyeing off.
 
“You know what - I’m going to buy this beautiful casserole dish I’ve been eyeing off. I told myself it was too expensive but now I’m just going to walk in and buy it,” she said.
 
“I’ll be able to pay off our house too.
 
“I’ll also share some with my friend who’s been doing it tough. She won’t see it coming.”
 
Her winning entry was purchased at Brisbane Street News & Lotto, 52 Brisbane Street, Launceston.
 
Brisbane Street News & Lotto owner Garry Matthews said he was pleased to hear his outlet had graced a customer with a $100,000 windfall.
 
“It’s nice to get a little victory from time to time! I’m sure this will cure the winter blues, and is a great pick-me-up this season,” he said.
 
“We haven’t had a major lottery win like this for a couple of years; however we did have a division two winning entry in Set for Life a couple of months ago!
 
“I’ll be sharing the news with the rest of the team, and I just know they’ll be so excited. We’re really pleased to hear that a ticket we sold has made someone $100,000 richer.
 
“Congratulations to our winner and all the best!”
