Zoom In
The Gold Coast resident missed several calls from The Lott while in the shower. Upon reading the unexpected message, she experienced shock and disbelief. “It gave me the biggest fright,” she said. “If I’m honest, it just doesn’t feel real. I’m a bit shaky and in disbelief.” Once the call was returned, the official confirmed her windfall.

Zoom Out
Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot and Mega Jackpot are raffle-style games, meaning each ticket number is unique and cannot be shared. Each game includes two draws—one to determine winning numbers and another to identify the jackpot number. If the jackpot number matches a winning number, the major prize is awarded. Otherwise, the jackpot continues to climb.
Tickets can be bought at licenced lottery outlets, on thelott.com, or through The Lott mobile app—the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
The Lott has distributed over $4.84 billion in prize money in 2024 to more than 195.3 million winners across Australia. Additionally, the organisation contributed over $1.8 billion in lottery taxes and donations last financial year, supporting hospitals, disaster relief, education, and health research. The Lott also backs Play For Purpose, a not-for-profit charity raffle supporting more than 500 causes nationwide.
What to Look for Next?
As the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot climbs past $21 million, and the Mega Jackpot nears $6.5 million, the next draws—11005 and 1705 respectively—promise more excitement for hopeful Australians. Keep an eye on The Lott for future winners and rising jackpots.
