A Gilles Plains man has confessed he’s on cloud nine despite barely sleeping since he discovered his Saturday X Lotto division one win.
 
The Adelaide resident held one of the six division one winning entries nationally in Saturday X Lotto draw 4551 on Saturday 1 March 2025. Each division one winning entry pocketed $884,118.73.
 
“Oh mate! I saw it on Saturday night and I haven’t slept since,” the ecstatic man exclaimed to us.
 
“I’m not going to cry a river, but I’m so happy. I’m just so happy. Thank you for your call. I’m so happy.
 
“This is huge for me. I can buy a home, live mortgage free and continue to work.
 
“You know what, at first, I thought it was a hoax.
 
“I looked at the ticket and then got down on my knees in front of my partner and screamed, ‘I’ve won $884! Hang on, it’s $8,840. No! It’s $884,000’.
 
“She said, ‘don’t lie to me!’. I thought she was going to punch me in the face!
 
“Once we saw it was real, we went out and got two bottles of champagne to celebrate!”
 
His winning 50-game QuickPick entry was purchased on The Lott website – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
