An Epping man’s plans for a lazy Sunday in the park with his young family were quickly ditched amid the adrenaline-pumping revelation he won $2.4 million in the weekend’s Saturday Lotto draw.
The Sydneysider held one of the two division one winning entries in Saturday Lotto draw 4569 on 3 May 2025. Each division one winning entry scored $2,478,143.82.
“I didn’t expect to win on such a small ticket,” he exclaimed when his win was confirmed.
“At first, I thought I was seeing things, but then I kept checking my ticket.
“I cannot believe it. It’s just a random QuickPick. Every time I play, I just select random numbers.
“I’m a little bit excited! This will get us into our own home – our first home.
“The original plan today was to go to the park and spend time with my wife and daughter. But now I think I need to calm down!
“This is very good news!”
The man’s winning 6-game QuickPick entry was purchased on The Lott website – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
The winning numbers in Saturday Lotto draw 4569 on 3 May 2025 were 30, 29, 16, 34, 43 and 27, while the supplementary numbers were 40 and 2.
Across Australia, there were two division one winning entries in Saturday Lotto draw 4569 – one each from New South Wales and South Australia.
