Queensland mum gives back to charity after $24 million lotto win

Don't miss out on the headlines from Real Life. Followed categories will be added to My News. A big-hearted Queensland mum is already making good on her dream of giving back, just days after winning an incredible $24.29m in the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot. The Darra woman scored the entire jackpot in draw 11027, drawn on July 11. Her winning entry, made up of six randomly selected numbers, was purchased via The Lott app. The jackpot had climbed to $24.29m after going unclaimed for 183 consecutive draws. 'This is a dream come true. I can't tell you how long I've dreamt of this moment,' she said. 'This is a beautiful day. I can't hold back the tears.' The Queensland mum's first thought was donating to causes that matter to her. NewsWire/ David Crosling While the win opens the door to endless possibilities, the selfless mum said her first priority was donating to causes that matter deeply to her. 'There's a lot of things I could do, but donating to charity is the most important,' she said. 'I would like to donate to some cancer and domestic violence charities. These are the sort of charities that hold a special place in my heart.' She also said she wouldn't be quitting her job, and that helping her family was another key goal. 'I love my job, so I'll continue showing up to work. I'll also be able to help my kids out a lot.' The game is a raffle-style lottery where each ticket is unique, meaning prizes aren't shared. The Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot now resets to $630,001 for draw 11029, while the Mega Jackpot stands at $7m. In 2024, Lucky Lotteries 1st Prize and Jackpot winners across Australia took home more than $52.2m. Australia's official lotteries contributed over $1.8bn last year to support hospitals, medical research, disaster relief, and education. The Lott also backs Play For Purpose, a charity raffle that helps over 500 causes across the country. Originally published as Queensland mum's generous act after $24m lotto win
