A thoughtful son from Reservoir is eager to put his $1 million Weekday Windfall win to good use, planning to care for his mum, who has been battling health issues over the past year.
The Melburnian held the only division one winning entry nationally in Weekday Windfall draw 4529, drawn Friday 4 April 2025, and looks forward to $1 million.
So far in 2025, there have been 14 major lottery wins in Melbourne’s north that have collectively taken home more than $65.08 million in prize money.
The winning man admitted he felt nervous when he discovered his newly-minted millionaire status, sharing he never thought a division one win would land his way.
“It’s crazy. I kept thinking, ‘Is this real? Is this true?” he laughed when speaking to an official from The Lott.
“Most people would go ballistic if they discovered they won $1 million, but I was actually quite nervous! I just thought $1 million was too unrealistic.
“But now that you’ve given me a call and confirmed that it is, in fact, real. It feels real. It feels like I’ve won division one!
“I’ve always imagined what I’d do if I won the lottery, and if you asked me last year, I’d probably have a wish-list of things, but all I really want to do is help my mum.
“My mum has a health problem, and I just really want to help her. I’ll be able to fund a good doctor and care for her.
“I’m feeling very lucky; very grateful.”
His winning System entry was purchased on The Lott website – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
