Saturday lotto is proudly played across Australia under the brands Gold Lotto, Lotto, TattsLotto and X Lotto, bringing winning moments to players nationwide.
An Oakhurst man is still marvelling at his good fortune after his first-ever Saturday Lotto ticket made him a millionaire in the weekend’s draw.
The Sydney resident held one of the 18 division one winning entries nationally in Saturday Lotto draw 4639 on Saturday 3 January 2026. Each division one winning entry scored $1,666,666.67.
“I had no idea!” he exclaimed when speaking to us.
“I saw on the news this morning that there had been 18 division one winners in the draw, but I hadn’t even looked at my ticket.
“Wow!
“The last thing I won was a meat tray!
“This is actually the first time I’ve played Lotto. I play Powerball every now and then when the jackpot gets big.
“I just thought on New Year’s Eve, ‘I’ll get a ticket into that’.
“My wife is almost falling off the lounge right now.
“This will allow us to pay off the mortgage. I might also get the golf clubs I’ve been wanting to get. We might even do a trip to Hawaii.
“This just sets us up. We’ll still have to work, but we’re working for us now.
“Happy days!”
The man’s winning 25-game entry was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
