A Golden Grove couple have confessed didn’t sleep for over 24 hours after a recent tweak to their Lotto numbers delivered a $1.8 million Saturday X Lotto win.

The Adelaide residents held one of the 11 division one winning entries nationally in Saturday X Lotto draw 4687 on Saturday 20 June 2026. Each division one winning entry pocketed $1,818,181.82.

When an official from The Lott called the winning duo, they were just waking up after finally getting some much-needed rest.

“Good morning! We just got out of bed,” she said.

“I didn’t sleep all weekend. I was up for 24 hours straight. I felt like a zombie all day Sunday.

“We just can’t believe it. It’s completely life-altering. I was just saying to my husband, ‘How can a piece of paper be so life-changing?’. It’s scary!

“I’ve been playing the lotteries forever. I only just changed my numbers a couple of months ago. I changed them to include the great grandchildren’s birthdays and some other special dates.”

With $1.8 million heading their way, the husband and wife shared they couldn’t wait to visit Darwin after paying off some bills and helping family.

“We’ll pay off some bills and of course we’ll help the kids,” she said.

“My husband and I have never been to Darwin, but we’ve always wanted to do it, so we’ll definitely have a trip there.

“For now, we’ll go have a cup of tea to celebrate!”
