A Dapto couple have unleashed mighty screams of delight after receiving a life-changing phone call with the news they’d scored $1.25 million in Saturday Lotto.

The Wollongong residents held one of the 16 division one winning entries nationally in Saturday Lotto draw 4651 drawn Saturday 14 February 2026. Each division one winning entry scored $1.25 million.

The gleeful pair had no idea they’d won and were left in complete shock by the million-dollar revelation.

“Oh my goodness!” the winning husband screamed.

“Is this true? It’s not a joke?

“Thank you so much! I hope I don’t have a heart attack. I need to sit down.

“We were just heading out the door. I can’t believe this.

“We have a big family so we can share it. We even have great grandchildren. Everyone can get some.

“We couldn’t have a better day than this. My wife is crying with joy.

“We are so excited. Now we need to settle down!”

Their winning marked 8-game entry was purchased from newsXpress Dapto, Shop G106, Dapto Mall, Princes Hwy & Moombara St, Dapto.

newsXpress Dapto owner Leonie Hutchinson said she was thrilled her outlet had sold another division one winning entry.

“We are very excited. It’s always good to sell a division one winning entry and be a small part of someone’s win,” she said.

“We’ve sold a few over the years. We’ll be putting up balloons to celebrate and letting everyone know the good news.

“A big congratulations to the winner and we wish you all the best with your prize.”

The winning numbers in Saturday Lotto draw 4651 on 14 February 2026 were 12, 7, 3, 6, 14 and 22, while the supplementary numbers were 42 and 20.
