A Gilles Plains man is ecstatic after winning a huge $884,000 in the Saturday X Lotto over the weekend, with the life changing news leaving him sleepless with excitement. The local Adelaide resident secured his fortune in the draw numbered 4551 on March 1th, 2025, sharing the division one prize with five other national winners, each receiving an equal share of the winnings.
She shared, “Oh mate! I saw it on Saturday night and I haven’t slept since.
“I’m not going to cry a river, but I’m so happy. I’m just so happy. Thank you for your call. I’m so happy.
“This is huge for me. I can buy a home, live mortgage free and continue to work.
“You know what, at first, I thought it was a hoax.
“I looked at the ticket and then got down on my knees in front of my partner and screamed, ‘I’ve won $884! Hang on, it’s $8,840. No! It’s $884,000’.
“She said, ‘don’t lie to me!’. I thought she was going to punch me in the face!
“Once we saw it was real, we went out and got two bottles of champagne to celebrate!”
The winning ticket, a 50-game QuickPick, was purchased on The Lott’s official website. The fortunate numbers in the Saturday X Lotto draw 4551 were 13, 11, 37, 12, 3 and 6, and supplementary numbers 44 and 2.
The recent draw saw winners from all across the country, with two from South Australia and one each from Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania, and Western Australia, seeing luck all over the nation.
This year has been profitable for SA Lotteries customers, contributing 36 out of the 322 division one winning entries reported by The Lott so far in the 2025 financial year. In the previous year, the Saturday X Lotto was responsible for creating 149 millionaires, highlighting the game’s potential to change lives dramatically.
