A Lismore dad’s craving for Spaghetti Bolognese turned into a recipe for good fortune, topped by a $100,000 win in yesterday’s Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw.
The local man held the 1st Prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 11025, drawn Wednesday, 9 July 2025, and can look forward to a delicious $100,000.
The winning man relayed how the win came about while speaking to an official from The Lott.
“Thank you very much! I feel a bit weird, you know. It’s very surreal,” he said.
“It’s a funny story. I was at the shops and decided I’d make spaghetti bolognese for dinner.
“While I was at the shops, I saw the newsagency and randomly popped in and got a couple of tickets. It was just a spur-of-the-moment thing.
“It’s funny to think if I hadn’t chosen to make spag bol that night and had something at home instead, I might’ve not gotten the win! It feels like it was meant to be.
“I have an upcoming camping trip, so it’ll give me time to sit back, have a beer by the fire and contemplate it all.
“It’s amazing. I’ll pay off the mortgage, and that’ll be the icing on top for retirement.”
His winning entry of six random numbers was purchased from Lismore Central Newspro, T10 Lismore Central Shopping Centre, 44 Carrington Street, Lismore.
Lismore Central Newspro team member Chantelle Sryer said the team was thrilled to sell a 1st Prize winning Lucky Lotteries ticket.
“It’s super exciting! The team was very happy to hear the news,” she said.
“It was only in December last year that we sold a division one ticket worth over $1 million, so we’re hoping the winning streak keeps continuing.
“Congratulations to our winner. We wish you all the best with your prize!”
