Saturday Gold Lotto Draw in Australia Awards 21 Players AU$1M Each

A man from Yeppoon, the coastal town and the Shire of Livingstone locality in Queensland, Australia, will undoubtedly always remember the date July 27, 2024. This is because the fortunate man was one out of nearly two dozen players who secured a division one win from the drawing on that day.

Saturday Gold Lotto draw 4489 saw winning numbers 4, 11, 20, 27, 37 and 45, as well as supplementary numbers 10 and 15. Amazingly, 21 lucky winners secured a division one prize from Saturday Gold Lotto’s draw 4489. Matching the six main numbers granted each of the players a sum of nearly AU$1 million ($653,600).

A breakdown of the 21 wins shows that there were eight wins in Victoria, as well as five in New South Wales. Four wins were recorded in Queensland, where the Yeppoon man is from, two division one prizes went to Western Australia and two went to South Australia.

Each of the fortunate division one winners from Saturday Gold Lotto’s draw on July 27 bagged AU$952,380 or a sum of approximately $622,200. This was amazing, especially considering the number of division one winners and the odds of winning such a prize which are 1 in 8,145,060.

Winner’s Wife Will Receive a Ring with a Big Diamond
The lucky Yeppoon man spoke to Lottery officials, sharing his excitement to win a sum of nearly a million dollars. Acknowledging that he was incredibly fortunate, the man, whose name was not disclosed, said: “Punch me, I’m dreaming!”

When asked what he plans to do with the lottery prize, the man said that he intends to pay off his mortgage. At the same time, the fortunate player said he would share the prize with his children. “You wouldn’t believe how much this means to us,” he added.

What’s more, the Yeppoon man said that he plans to buy his wife a massive diamond ring. “She’s going to get a big rock,” said the lucky winner. Last but not least, the man admitted to hearing stories about people who had won the lottery but never expected to be one of the lucky few who could experience it.

Last year, 176 lucky players across Australia became millionaires by playing Saturday Gold Lotto. Since the start of this year, 252 fortunate players have won division one prizes from the Lottery.
