Saturday lotto is proudly played across Australia under the brands Gold Lotto, Lotto, TattsLotto and X Lotto, bringing winning moments to players nationwide.
A routine day in the garden sprouted into a $1.1 million celebration for a Port Macquarie man after a sudden feeling of fortune prompted a spontaneous Saturday Lotto purchase.
The Mid North Coast resident held one of the nine division one winning entries nationally in Saturday Lotto draw 4727 on Saturday 7 November 2026. Each division one winning entry pocketed $1,111,111.12.
Despite being a newly minted millionaire, the winning man remained cool, calm and collected while speaking to us.
“Thank you so much,” he said.
“I’m feeling a bit relaxed at the moment. My wife’s all over the place. She can’t believe I’m so calm.
“The funniest thing about it is, I don’t play every week, but I was walking past and I thought, ‘I’m feeling lucky today!’.
“We found out we’d won yesterday. I was doing some yard work when my wife said there was some email about a major prize.
“We thought it’d be something like $1,000 but lo and behold, when we checked, we saw six numbers staring at us.
“I didn’t get much sleep last night after that. I was just thinking about all the things we might want to do.
“It’s such a life-changer. We’ll be able to pay off the mortgage, and it’ll completely sort our retirement. We can’t believe it.
“My wife’s crying now. Gosh, it’s surreal.”
His 36-game QuickPick was purchased from Settlement City Newsagency & Post, Shop 17 Settlement City Shopping Centre, Cnr Bay Street & Park Street, Port Macquarie.
Settlement City Newsagency & Post owners Bhavna & Nikhil Jotsingani said they were ecstatic to be a part of someone’s incredible win.
“Believe it or not, we sold a division one winning entry on the very first day we took over the store back in 2021! It felt like a sign we were in the right place,” they said.
“Since then, we’ve sold three division one wins in total, including Saturday’s, and each one is just as exciting as the first. It’s a wonderful reminder of how special this community is.
“It’s even more special because we’re celebrating Diwali. What a wonderful blessing at such an auspicious time!
“Congratulations to our winner! We’re so thrilled for you. Thank you for choosing to buy your ticket with us. We hope this win brings you and your loved one’s happiness, security and lots of wonderful memories.”
