Local woman Europe bound after winning $200,000

A Sunshine Coast Hinterland woman is planning a holiday of a lifetime after discovering she won $200,000 in one of last week’s Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draws.

The happy woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased her winning entry of one random number at Nambour Village News.

The woman won the guaranteed first prize of $200,000 in Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw 1343, drawn Friday 7 June.

Sharing her excitement with a Golden Casket official this morning, the woman revealed she’d spent days in disbelief after discovering her windfall.

“When I saw your email notifying me that I had a win I thought it had to be a joke,” she said.

“Just like those text messages you receive from some lottery in Britian.

“But when I checked my ticket I couldn’t believe that it was actually true.

“I was shocked.”

The hardworking winner shared she had plenty of plans for her prize.

“We will probably put some towards the mortgage and we’ve always wanted to go on a European river cruise so we might do that as well,” she said.

“It’s still sinking in.”
