Pooraka woman’s heart-stopping moment turns to joy with $100,000 lottery win

A Pooraka woman initially thought she was having heart issues, only to find out she had won $100,000 in the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot.

On Monday, November 4th, one lucky woman from Pooraka felt such an intense surge of adrenaline after winning the lottery that she mistook it for a heart problem. Whilst at work in Adelaide completing her daily tasks, she found herself clutching at her chest after being informed that she’d won a life-changing $100,000 payout. 

The Adelaide resident was in the middle of writing an email when she received a phone call from The Lott, unveiling her as the 1st Prize winner in the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10889, which took place on Monday. Overwhelmed, she shared her immediate reaction:

“Oh my god! I can’t believe I just won! My heart is absolutely racing right now. I feel like I’m about to experience heart failure, that’s how fast my heartbeat is. I’m starting to get really emotional. My husband and I are finally able to buy a house.”

In a state of elation, she planned to surprise her husband with the news, anticipating his disbelief: 

“He’s going to lose it. He might even think I’m pranking him.”

Amidst her excitement, she also considered skipping lunch with colleagues to celebrate the win privately. 

The lucky ticket was purchased online, with a set of four randomly generated numbers generated on the Lott’s official website. Letting the computer select her numbers turned out to be a fortuitous decision, winning her a significant sum of money. 

The Lucky Lotteries games, both the Super Jackpot and Mega Jackpot, operate as raffle-style draws with distinctive and non-duplicative ticket numbers, ensuring everyone has a unique opportunity. The current Mega Jackpot stands at $3.16 million for draw 1691, while the Super Jackpot is now at $6.48 million for draw 10890. 

In the fiscal year 2024, Lucky Lotteries has awarded more than $53.4 million across 147 1st Prize and Jackpot entries nationwide.

These lotteries not only create daily winners but also contribute significantly to community welfare. Throughout the last financial year, contributions exceeding $1.8 billion were made toward state lottery taxes and donations. These funds aided various community initiatives, including health research, education, disaster relief, and hospital support.
