Dandy mum hits the jackpot

A Dandenong mother is celebrating “the best Christmas present ever” after winning $200,000 in a Lucky Lotteries draw.

The anonymous winner now has plans to take her kids on an overseas holiday after taking out first prize in the 12 December Mega Jackpot draw.

“Thank you, this is the best Christmas present ever,” she said.

“And we will certainly be celebrating this Christmas.”

She said she’d been entering the lottery for just a month – and it had “paid off quickly”.

“Oh my God, I’ve never won that much before.”
