Two South Australians enjoyed an extra sweet Easter, with each pocketing a Saturday X Lotto division one win, but one ticketholder may be unaware of their good fortune.

The Adelaide players held some of the 20 division one winning entries in Saturday X Lotto draw 4565, drawn Saturday 19 April 2025. Each division one winning entry pocketed $255,096.86.

One of the winners, a Port Adelaide man, is already celebrating his win. However, the other entry was unregistered, prompting lottery officials to urge local players to check their tickets.

“Funny feeling” leads Port Adelaide man to Saturday X Lotto win

A Port Adelaide man is thanking a “funny feeling” for reminding him to check his Saturday X Lotto ticket, which had landed a division one win in the weekend’s draw.

“With Easter and everything, I had forgotten all about the draw,” he said.

“But I had a funny feeling, and about midnight on Saturday, I logged in and had a look.

“To my surprise, there was a surprise! I couldn’t believe that 20 people had won division one!

“I’ve been playing those numbers for years and years. I just randomly picked them and stuck with them.

“It’s an awesome win! I’ll take $250,000 any day of the week!

“I think about 80% of it will go on the mortgage, and with the rest we’ll treat ourselves to something. Maybe a holiday with upgraded flights and hotels!”

The man’s winning marked 18-game entry was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.

South Australia’s other Saturday X Lotto winner yet to discover their prize

An Adelaide resident or visitor also scored a Saturday X Lotto division one win on the weekend, but may be oblivious to their good fortune.

If the elusive winner had registered their entry to The Lott Members Club, they would have already been alerted to their good fortune. Instead, lottery officials are eagerly waiting for the ticketholder to come forward to claim their prize.

The winning entry was purchased at OTR Salisbury Drive Thru, 142 Salisbury Highway, Salisbury.

Last year, OTR Salisbury Drive Thru sold a Powerball entry that won $150 million – Australia’s biggest individual lottery win.

The Lott spokesperson Matt Hart said he hoped Adelaide’s latest division one winner checked their winning ticket soon.

“Someone is most likely walking around completely oblivious to the fact they won a division one prize in the weekend’s Saturday X Lotto draw,” he said.

“We’re urging anyone who purchased a Saturday X Lotto ticket from OTR Salisbury Drive Thru to check their tickets as soon as possible because they could be the mystery winner we’re searching for!

“Can you imagine how exciting it would be to discover you’ve taken home more than $250,000? Your plans for the rest of 2025 and beyond could change in a heartbeat.

“Make sure you check your tickets, and if you do discover that you are holding the winning ticket, contact The Lott on 131 868 to begin the process of claiming your prize.”

The winning numbers in Saturday X Lotto draw 4565 on 19 April 2025 were 28, 10, 44, 21, 19 and 14, while the supplementary numbers were 33 and 23.

Across Australia, there were 20 division one winning entries in Saturday X Lotto draw 4565 – six in Queensland, five in Victoria, two each in New South Wales, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia and one in the Northern Territory.
