'Always thought I was super lucky': Canberra man's lottery win

A Canberra man who "always thought [he] was super lucky" has won $100,000 in a lottery draw.

A Lott spokesperson said the man, in his 30s, won the first prize in Friday's Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10450.

A lottery official called the man, who reportedly said "Wow. That's amazing."

He reportedly told the official he would "get these instincts to play - a gut feeling - so I followed it".

"I've always thought I was a super lucky person, to be honest. I don't expect anything back from the universe, but I certainly appreciate it when it comes along," he reportedly said.

"I've got a saying 'You'll never find a four-leaf clover until you start looking for it'. You've got to be in it to win it."

He told the officials the money would make a big difference for him and his wife.

"My wife's right here next to me. It will help get us in a good financial position for the future," he reportedly said.

The man bought the winning entry of 10 random numbers online.
