A Tarneit man is wondering if his good fortune is written in the stars after scoring division one for the second time this year – the latest a $1 million prize in Friday night’s Weekday Windfall draw.

The Wyndham resident held the only division one winning entries nationally in Weekday Windfall draw 4583, drawn Friday 8 August 2025 and can look forward to a dazzling $1 million.

The winning man was still stunned by his second division one delight, admitting he’d accidentally bought a ticket for the wrong draw.

“I’m great! Thank you so much,” he laughed.

“It was such a coincidence because I originally meant to buy a ticket for the Monday draw, as that’s what I usually do, but I realised that I accidentally got a ticket into Friday’s draw. Isn’t that crazy?

“I’m so glad to have it confirmed. I’ve been waiting to tell my friends and family, but I wanted to make sure it was real first.

“It was actually earlier this year that I won $60,000 in a division one syndicate, and now this!

“My parents are into astrology, so I might need to pull up my birth chart and they can tell me if it was in the stars. I’m starting to think it’s a lucky year for me.

“I’m just a middle-income earner with a regular job, so getting this is life-changing

“There have been lots of ideas between my wife and I. We’ll pay off our mortgage first, but I would like to give back as well and help others.”

His winning marked 30-game entry was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.

The winning numbers in Weekday Windfall draw 4583 on Friday 8 August 2025 were 13, 9, 44, 29, 1 and 34, while the supplementary numbers were 41 and 28.

Across Australia, there was one division one winning entry in Weekday Windfall draw 4583 – the one in Victoria.

The Lott’s division one winning tally has now reached 267 so far in 2025, including 68 won by NSW Lotteries customers.

In 2024, Weekday Windfall (formerly Monday & Wednesday Lotto) created 102 millionaires across Australia.

During this time, there were 105 division one winning Weekday Windfall (formerly Monday & Wednesday Lotto) entries across Australia, which collectively won $105 million.
