What’s happening?
A Toowoomba man is celebrating a life-changing win after securing $100,000 in the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw on Wednesday, 18 June 2025. The Darling Downs resident held the 1st Prize winning entry in draw 11006, purchased via The Lott website, the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
Why it matters
This remarkable win comes as a welcome relief for the local man, who has been doing it tough in recent months. His story adds to the growing list of lottery winners in the region and serves as a reminder of the life-changing potential of Australia’s official lottery games.
“I’m pretty stoked. It’s amazing news,” the man said. “I’ve been having such a rotten time recently and to have a dose of good news is everything to me.”
Local Impact
The win marks the fifth major lottery prize claimed in the Darling Downs and Southwest Queensland region this year, bringing the total prize money to over $5.4 million for 2025 so far. These wins have not only uplifted individuals but have also contributed to local morale and economic activity.
“I always love reading the different winner’s stories on The Lott website and hearing what they plan to do with the prize,” he added.
“I can’t believe I’m part of the winners’ club now. It means so much to me. I’m so grateful.”

Zoom In
The winning entry featured four consecutive numbers and was purchased online through The Lott, which allows secure and trackable play. The man revealed that his immediate plan is to replace his ageing car—a financial burden he previously didn’t know how to resolve.
“My old car has been on the way out for some time now,” he explained. “I was wondering how I could replace it but now I don’t need to wonder. I’m going to spend the rest of the afternoon looking at new cars.”
Zoom Out
In 2024 alone, Lucky Lotteries delivered 147 1st Prize and Jackpot wins, distributing more than $52.2 million across Australia. As raffle-style games, Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot and Mega Jackpot guarantee no prize sharing due to their unique ticketing structure.
These games feature two draws: one for the winning numbers and another for the jackpot number. The jackpot is only claimed if the jackpot number matches one of the winning numbers, otherwise, it rolls over—often growing into multimillion-dollar amounts.
