Four division one winning entries take home AU$1.6m each
On Saturday, August 9, 2025, the excitement of the popular game's draw reached its peak. From TattsLotto's 4597th draw, four incredibly lucky individuals each walked away with a transformative prize of AU$1,668,614.99. The numbers that spun dreams into reality on Saturday were 45, 4, 10, 40, 41, and 14, with 3 and 6 as the supplementary numbers. Among the winners, one entry hailed from Victoria, while the remaining three winners were from Queensland, all celebrating their newfound fortune.
The winner hung up the phone on a lottery official initially
In a stroke of pure luck, a dad from Prahran claimed his life-changing 50-game QuickPick ticket through The Lott's website. When a lottery official reached out to share the exhilarating news, he amusingly hung up, believing it to be a prank. With a chuckle, the dedicated father reflected, “I can’t believe it! Thank you for reaching out again. My friend laughed, saying, ‘Great one, you hung up on a lottery official!’” A sporadic lottery participant, he was thunderstruck upon discovering he had won nearly AU$2 million. “This couldn’t have come at a better time. You’ve turned my year around! I’m stunned, but it’s the best kind of stun.” When it came to his plans, he was clear about how he’d use this incredible windfall. Keen to indulge a little, he mentioned the allure of a new car and a much-needed vacation. But with his kids in mind, he asserted, “Some of it will definitely go toward school fees!” Remember, the excitement of the Saturday Lotto unfolds weekly after 7:30 PM AEST. To seize the top prize, you need to match all six numbers on your ticket. The odds stand at 1 in 8,145,060 for hitting that major jackpot, while a division two win, with five winning numbers and one supplementary number, offers odds of 1 in 678,755.
