$580k happy new year!

AMount Gambier woman is looking forward to helping her nearest and dearest after her 40-year-old “special numbers” delivered her a win of more than $580,000 in the weekend’s Saturday X Lotto draw.


The Blue Lake city resident held one of the 17 division one winning entries in Saturday X Lotto draw 4537, drawn on Saturday. 


Each division one winning entry scored $588,235.30.


The longtime Lotto player was having a relaxing morning watching television when an official from The Lott surprised her today with the winning phone call.


“You’re joking! You’re joking!” she cheered.


“I have been playing for over 40 years with my special numbers.


“Oh wow. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!


“I am just over the moon. I really am excited. 


“You have completely made my day.”


When asked how she planned to use her newfound treasure, the cheerful mother shared that she looked forward to spreading the happiness with her loved ones.


“I can share it with family!” she said.


“Oh gosh. I cannot wait to give everyone a call after this and tell them the amazing news.


“Thank you so much!”


Her winning marked 10-game entry was purchased from Penola’s J N Davidson Newsagency.


J N Davidson Newsagency owner John Davidson said he was shocked and excited to hear his outlet had sold its first division one winning entry in the weekend’s Saturday X Lotto draw.


“I was stunned when I saw we had sold a winning entry but so excited at the same time,” he said.


“This is our first time selling a division one winning entry, so we are over the moon.


“We’ll be putting up balloons and signs to share the good news and celebrate.


“Our customers are all thrilled and have been extending their good wishes to us and the lucky winner.


“Congratulations to them, and we wish you all the best with your prize.”


The winning numbers in Saturday X Lotto draw 4537 on were 6, 19, 29, 18, 8 and 38, while the supplementary numbers were 15 and 45.
