BY TYLER FARDELL


A young man from Clarence Town in the Hunter Valley was in for the shock of his life when he discovered he had won first prize in the latest Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw.

On Friday afternoon, the man who wishes to remain anonymous was left speechless after winning the $100,000 prize.

The ticket was purchased at the Clarence Town IGA, where the staff were joyous with the news.

"It's very exciting", said staff member Bernadette Gehrig. "I think this might be our first Lucky Lotteries first prize but hopefully some more to come for our customers".

The lucky winner celebrated the win with his family over the weekend and already has some ideas about what to do with the money.

"I'd like to buy a new car first", he exclaimed.

Newcastle family wake up as the Hunters newest millionaires

A Newcastle family has had a morning they will never forget with a call from NSW Lotteries confirming they had won the first division prize pool of one million dollars.

The father, a man in his forties, bought the 24 game quickpick from Waratah Newsagency, and in a remarkable coincidence is the second time in as many months the newsagent has sold first prize.

Speaking with NSW Lotteries about his windfall, the unidentified man said he will look to pay off his mortgage and set his family up for life - after he buys himself a motorbike.

Meanwhile, the owner of the Waratah Newsagency, Michael Phillips, is popping the champagne on selling yet another life-changing prize.

'Hopefully there's more winners to come for our store. It puts a real good buzz around the place,' Mr Phillips said.
