ACT man kicks off 2023 with $40,686 Italian Super Jackpot win

A player with The Lottery Office came close to pulling off a record-breaking win in the December 30 Italian Super Jackpot draw. Although he missed out on the $530 million major prize, he was happy to leave 2022 behind with his bank balance boosted by more than $40,000.

The ACT man, who signed up with The Lottery Office in November 2022, describes himself as a pessimist, but hopefully after his division 3 win that’s no longer the case!

Although he admits that it hurt him to fall short of hundreds of millions by a single number, he’s excited about his substantial prize and plans to put some of it towards his mortgage as he’s recently taken a holiday.

He heard about the record-breaking $2.9 billion US Powerball draw was won in November, and how The Lottery Office gave Australians the chance to win from its draw.

He thought to himself, ‘Why would I play with the (traditional) Australian Lotteries if I can win this much from the (matching) overseas lotteries’, so he signed up for his free account with The Lottery Office.

Once he signed up, the Italian Super Jackpot had the largest jackpot on offer, so he decided to play that. It turned out to be a smart decision.

The player’s numbers were:

The Italian Super Jackpot winning numbers were:

As you can see, had he selected 29 instead of 37 things would be very different! Maybe next time!

The bonus winning number is not required to win the jackpot prize; it’s only required to win the Division 2 prize.
