A Henley Beach woman has been hit with a serious case of deja vu after scoring a huge win in last Saturday’s X Lotto—but it’s not the first time. Over 20 years ago she experienced the same thing, winning another division one win in 1992.
The Adelaide local was one of 13 division one winners in the Saturday X Lotto draw 4543, drawn on February 1st 2025, pocketing a whopping $367,448.93.
“We just found out!” she said when speaking with officials from The Lott.
“Thank you. Thank you. It’s lovely.
“My husband was the one who checked my numbers. He came over and surprised me and I went ‘Oh my! This is the second time I’ve won!’.
“The first time I won was in 1992. It was a group of 10 of us and we each got about $260,000 each. I still have a vivid memory of all our numbers on the screen and I couldn’t believe it.
“I like sharing. It’s great that lots of winners took home division one over the weekend.
“I always use the same numbers. I never change them!”
The ticket was purchased at Rex’s Findon Newsagency, Shop 11 / 303 Grange Road, Findon. Store manager Kirsten Hoare was thrilled for their latest lucky customer.
“We’re so excited for the customer. It’s such a great win!” said Kristen.
“We will be celebrating with decorations and talking to everyone about this great news.
“Over the last 40 years, we’ve had at least 16 division wins so we’re very lucky.
“What a great way to start the year. Being a family run business in a great community, the news will spread fast!”
The winning numbers in Saturday X Lotto draw 4543 were 12, 8, 18, 7, 41, and 1, with supplementary numbers 16 and 32.
Across Australia, there were 13 division one winners—one in South Australia, two in Queensland, five in New South Wales, and three in Victoria.
So far in the financial year, The Lott has created 304 division one winners, including 31 in South Australia alone.
It’s proof that lightning really can strike twice—congratulations to the lucky winner!
