Weekday Windfall Brings Wealth to Two Lucky Lottery Players
Earlier this week, The Lott, Australia’s trusted lottery provider, revealed two major wins from its Monday Weekday Windfall draw. One winner hailed from Queensland, while the other was a resident of New South Wales.
The New South Wales entry belonged to a Penshurst grandfather who recently claimed his jackpot at Lottery headquarters. By correctly matching the winning numbers from Monday night’s draw 4485, the fortunate player secured an impressive AU$1,002,459.70 prize.
The player purchased the winning ticket through The Lott’s official website. The lucky numbers drawn were 28, 15, 5, 26, 30, and 16, with supplementary numbers 14 and 9.
A Memorable and Meaningful Victory
The Penshurst grandfather, whose name was not disclosed, shared details of his incredible journey to wealth. Having played the lottery for over 30 years, he revealed that his winning numbers were based on family birthdays, making the victory deeply personal.
“I have a big family, lots of grandkids and great-grandkids, so most of it will go to them,” he shared. While he was thrilled to win, the player remained composed, saying, “I won’t do anything extravagant, just save it and look after the kids.”
The grandfather reflected on a past attempt where he matched five numbers but never imagined hitting all six. Remembering his mother’s words about their family’s lack of luck, he noted, “It seems our luck has changed. What a wonderful gift for Christmas Eve.”
The man expressed gratitude to The Lott and the sense of joy this windfall brought to his family. For the fiscal year 2025, The Lott has reported 227 division one winning entries, with 61 winners from New South Wales alone.
