An Oakhurst man is still marvelling at his good fortune after his first-ever Saturday Lotto ticket made him a millionaire in the weekend’s draw.
The Sydney 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.
“I had no idea!” he exclaimed when speaking to an official from The Lott.
“I saw on the news this morning that there had been 18 division one winners in the draw, but I hadn’t even looked at my ticket.
“Wow!
“The last thing I won was a meat tray!
“This is actually the first time I’ve played Lotto. I play Powerball every now and then when the jackpot gets big.
“I just thought on New Year’s Eve, ‘I’ll get a ticket into that’.
“My wife is almost falling off the lounge right now.
“This will allow us to pay off the mortgage. I might also get the golf clubs I’ve been wanting to get. We might even do a trip to Hawaii.
“This just sets us up. We’ll still have to work, but we’re working for us now.
“Happy days!”
The man’s winning 25-game entry was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
