Belmont winner to fly in style

A Belmont woman’s scheduled holiday to the UK has been boosted by a $57,803.60 bounty from the weekend’s Super 66 draw – declaring she’ll now upgrade her flight to business class.

She held the only division one winning entry nationally in Super 66 draw 4273, drawn Saturday 2 July 2022 and takes home a total prize of $57,803.60.

Her winning 2-game Quickpick was purchased online at thelott.com – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.

Confirming her win with an official from The Lott this morning, the mirthful mother said the prize was the most she’d ever won.

“Oh my god, I can’t believe it,” she proclaimed.

“I had no idea that I’d won until I received a text message from The Lott advising me to call in.

“The funny thing is, Super 66 is the lottery game that I always win in. It’s probably my favourite to play and I always come out with a win – whether it’s $6 or $57,000.

“You wouldn’t believe it; I had another win last week. I’m on a winning streak and this is the cherry on top.

“I can’t wait to get off the phone and tell my children. This is amazing.

“I’m flying to the UK later this year, so this will really come in handy. I’ll upgrade my seats to business class and make the most of the holiday.”

Her winning 2-game Quickpick was purchased online at thelott.com – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.

The winning numbers in Super 66 draw 4273 on Saturday 2 July 2022 were 5, 8, 5, 8, 0 and 9.
