An Epping man’s plans for a lazy Sunday in the park with his young family were quickly ditched amid the adrenaline-pumping revelation he won $2.4 million in the weekend’s Saturday Lotto draw.
 
The Sydneysider held one of the two division one winning entries in Saturday Lotto draw 4569 on 3 May 2025. Each division one winning entry scored $2,478,143.82.
 
“I didn’t expect to win on such a small ticket,” he exclaimed when his win was confirmed.
 
“At first, I thought I was seeing things, but then I kept checking my ticket.
 
“I cannot believe it. It’s just a random QuickPick. Every time I play, I just select random numbers.
 
“I’m a little bit excited! This will get us into our own home – our first home.
 
“The original plan today was to go to the park and spend time with my wife and daughter. But now I think I need to calm down!
 
“This is very good news!”
 
The man’s winning 6-game QuickPick entry was purchased on The Lott website – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
