Thirty years after dreaming she’d one day win the lottery, a Parkes woman has experienced a string of chills down her spine after discovering she’d scored $100,000 in a recent Lucky Lotteries draw.
The Central West player held the first prize winning entry in Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 11068, drawn Monday 13 April 2026. She looks forward to $100,000.
While repeated attempts to contact the winner went unanswered, she finally checked her winning ticket three days after the draw.
Her winning entry of one random number was purchased at Parkes News & Gifts, 284 Clarinda Street, Parkes. With $100,000 soon to boost her bank account, the stunned woman had a few ideas on how she’d enjoy her prize. “I bought a house recently and it needs a lot of work done,” she shared.
Parkes News & Gifts manager Melissa Cowling shared she was thrilled a major lottery win had landed in her town. “It’s just so exciting to hear that someone in our small country town has been lucky enough to win a major prize,” she said.
