In a heartwarming turn of events, a Rooty Hill woman has not only won $830,000 in the weekend’s Saturday Lotto draw but has also become a grandmother.
 
The Sydneysider held one of the six division one winning entries nationally in Saturday Lotto draw 4557, drawn Saturday 22 March 2025. Each division one winning entry pocketed $833,493.02.
 
The winning woman was still floating on cloud nine when we called to confirm the exciting news.
 
“I’m great, thank you. You’ve made my day!” she laughed.

“I’m so happy. My grandson was just born, and I think he’s my new lucky charm.

“This is amazing news. It just feels like everything happens for a reason. 

“I checked my ticket Sunday morning, and I said, ‘It can’t be!’.
 
“Then I needed my husband to double-check in case I was going crazy. He confirmed it was true and oh my god, we just went into celebration mode.
 
“We can’t wait to pay off our house.
 
“Thank you so much!”
 
Her winning 6-game QuickPick entry was purchased from CTC & Lotto Eastern Creek, 159 Rooty Hill Road South, Shop T21 Eastern Creek Quarter, Eastern Creek.
 
CTC & Lotto Eastern Creek manager Nasser Barhoumeh said they couldn’t be happier to receive the winning news.
