THE Hunter has been struck lucky this week, with combined lottery wins of $210,000.

A Kurri Kurri father of four won the $100,000 first prize in yesterday's $2 jackpot draw 8586.

"I have been working all my life, so this will give us that little extra lift for life," the 58-year-old said.

He bought his winning ticket at Kurri Kurri newsagency.

An unregistered East Maitland player picked up third prize of $5000 in draw 8586 with their ticket purchased at Greenhills Newsagency.

Another unregistered player won third prize, also $5000, in draw 8587 with their ticket bought from Garden City Newsagency at Kotara.

A 35-year-old Mayfield man was "completely overwhelmed" after hearing that his $2 Jackpot Lottery ticket, in draw 8554, was worth $100,000.

The ticket was bought from Mayfield East Newsagency.
