Lottery player wins AU$200K just in time for wedding

Thanks to a six-figure lottery win, a lucky Melbourne man won't be bothered by wedding expenses. The fortunate man scored a sweet AU$200,000 ($130,000) prize from yesterday's Lucky Lotteries draw, The Lott announced on Friday.

The Williamstown man purchased his winning entry with six random numbers via The Lott's official app. Entering the Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot's draw 1731 on Thursday, November 6, 2025, the lucky player emerged as the winner. Considering that Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot and Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot are raffle-style games, there is no sharing of prizes, considering that there is a set number of tickets. As a result, the fortunate Melbournian, who scored the 1st Prize winning entry from Lucky Lotteries recent draw, will be looking forward to the entire AU$200,000 ($130,000) prize. In FY25, across Australia, some 182 Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize and Jackpot Prize winning entries awarded more than AU$20.5m ($13.3m).

An official from the Lottery was able to reach the fortunate winner in the middle of his workday. I can’t believe it. What are the odds that I’m the only winner in all of Australia?! Woo-hoo, the lucky Williamstown man said when hearing the good news. He admitted to playing every now and then Powerball and Oz Lotto. However, the Melburnian acknowledged that the latest windfall marks his biggest prize so far. Life is good! It can’t get any better than this, he exclaimed. The fortunate Lucky Lotteries player admitted that the lottery win comes at the perfect time, considering that he has a wedding planned for next year. Acknowledging that the windfall will be massive help, the lucky man admitted that his newfound fortune helps take his mind off the wedding-related expenses and makes him want to book a holiday overseas.
