Saturday lotto is proudly played across Australia under the brands Gold Lotto, Lotto, TattsLotto and X Lotto, bringing winning moments to players nationwide.
After more than half a century of playing Saturday Gold Lotto, a Palm Beach granddad was convinced the ticket checker had made a mistake when it revealed his sensational $900,000 win over the weekend.
The Gold Coast resident held one of the division one winning entries in Saturday Gold Lotto draw 4721, drawn Saturday 17 October 2026. Each division one winning entry scored $900,851.73.
When asked how he was feeling after the shock had started to sink in, the delighted winner had a simple answer.
"I'm excellent. Excellent! Thank you so much," he said.
"I checked it with my phone on the weekend, and when the result came up, I simply thought, 'It must be wrong!'.
"I just couldn't get over it. I've been playing Lotto for 50 years or more, and I never thought I'd see something like this."
The long-time player said he would keep his feet firmly on the ground and put family first.
"There's probably not a lot for me, but it will help the grandkids," he shared.
"I'll wait until we've got the money to tell family. I never jump the gun!"
His winning System 8 entry was purchased at The Pines Lotto & News, Kiosk 1, The Pines Elanora Shopping Centre 13/31 Guineas Creek Road, Elanora.
The Pines Lotto & News manager Jo Okeeffe said she was very excited to have sold her first division one winning entry after eight years of managing the store.
"The excitement is next level! This is the first division one winning entry that we've ever sold. We pride ourselves on our authenticity and it's really lovely to see that dreams really do come true," she shared.
"We will be decorating the store in balloons and streamers to celebrate this occasion. We will also have chocolates to hand out to our customers.
"Our customers will be extremely excited to hear the news and I'm sure it will put an extra spring in their step knowing a local has taken home a win!
"A huge heartfelt congratulations to the winner from myself, Tenille and Taylah. We're so incredible excited to help make your dreams come true."
