Family lottery group scoops AU$2.2 million in Saturday X Lotto win

The family group bought their ticket at Rostrevor Pharmacy, located at Shop 1 on 161 St Bernards Road in Rostrevor. Their family syndicate was among nine division one winners across Australia, each winning a life-changing AU$2,222,222.23—about $1.6 million. Interestingly, the family's lottery entry wasn't registered, so The Lott had to wait for them to step forward and claim their prize. It took nearly a month after the Saturday X Lotto draw on July 25, 2026, for the syndicate to come forward. One family member shared with The Lott that the win feels unreal: It took us a bit longer to come forward because there’s six of us. The syndicate includes family members aged from their 20s to 80s, and amusingly, they formed the group to stay connected, not expecting to win. We’d put any winnings into a kitty for dinners and catch-ups. Honestly, we never thought we’d actually win, the member added. Winning the Saturday X Lotto has thrilled the group, making the shared experience even more special. The lucky winner also mentioned that they're on the hunt for a new home, so the lottery win is timely. Each member of the family syndicate gets a sweet AU$370,370.37—around $265,200.
