A Gungahlin man couldn’t stop laughing when he realised he was now $1.6 million richer from the weekend’s Saturday Lotto draw.
The ACT resident held one of the 18 division one winning entries nationally in Saturday Lotto draw 4639 on Saturday 3 January 2026. Each division one winning entry scored $1,666,666.67.
When an official from The Lott reached out to the winning man on Sunday morning, he was already hard at work despite his new millionaire status.
“I checked the ticket early this morning, but I couldn’t believe it,” he laughed.
“I’ve checked it constantly ever since.
“I still can’t believe it, but I’m glad you called!
“I’m actually at work now, but I have a smile on my face and this will just make life a bit easier.
“You have no idea what this means to me, but I’ve yet to decide exactly what I’ll do with the prize.
“You’re an angel!”
The man’s winning 18-game QuickPick entry was purchased on The Lott website – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
The winning numbers in Saturday Lotto draw 4639 on 3 January 2026 were 19, 36, 21, 10, 9 and 13, while the supplementary numbers were 39 and 2.
Across Australia, there were 18 division one winning entries in Saturday Lotto draw 4639 – seven in New South Wales, three each in Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia and one each in South Australia and the ACT.
