Aussie lottery player to celebrate Easter with life-changing $2.8m prize

• Seven division one winning entries won AU$2.8m each from Saturday Lotto’s drawing over the weekend
• One of the entries, purchased in Tocumwal, wasn’t registered with The Lott Members club and lottery officials couldn’t reach the player to give them the good news
• The same shop that sold the division one winning entry has previously sold two more top prize entries

An incredibly fortunate lottery player will undoubtedly celebrate an unforgettable Easter after scoring a life-changing prize.

That’s the case for one Saturday Lotto winner who scored AU$2.8m from the game’s latest drawing.

Saturday Lotto makes seven people millionaires

On Monday, The Lott confirmed that Saturday Lotto draw 4663 from Saturday, March 28, 2026, produced a total of seven division one winning entries across Australia.

The winning numbers from that particular draw were 30, 25, 2, 1, 3 and 29, while the supplementary numbers were 17 and 15.

Of the seven division one winning entries, three were purchased each in Victoria and New South Wales, while the last one came from South Australia.

Each division one winning entry is entitled to a life-changing prize of AU$2,857,142.86 ($1.9m).

One of the winning entries was purchased in Tocumwal at Clarks News & Lotto on 8 Deniliquin Street.

That particular Saturday Lotto division one entry wasn’t registered with The Lott Members club, thus a lottery official had no way to contact the incredibly fortunate player to give him the good news.

As a result, The Lott is now expecting the Tocumwal player to check their ticket and initiate the claiming process.

Eliza Wregg, a spokesperson for The Lott, commented in a press release: "If you see someone wandering around Tocumwal with a beaming smile on their face, they just might be our latest division one winner!"

Moreover, Wregg pointed out: "Other players tell us they are going to use their windfall to renovate or upgrade their homes, buy a shiny new car and plan a long-awaited holiday."

"We often hear players say they will share it with their family and loved ones and give to charities close to their hearts," The Lott’s spokesperson added.

Finally, Wregg said The Lott hopes to continue bringing smiles to the faces of lottery players.

Interestingly, Saturday Lotto’s division one winning entry isn’t the first one purchased at Clarks News & Lotto.

The venue’s owner, Ross Clark, said that he is incredibly excited to sell the third division one winning entry at Clarks News & Lotto.

"My first thoughts were, ‘Wow! How exciting!’ when I found about the winning news," Clark explained.
