A Hallett Cove woman has confessed she didn’t get much sleep on Saturday night amid the excitement of discovering her “$1,000” Saturday X Lotto win was actually a $1 million prize.
 
The Adelaide resident held one of the five division one winning entries nationally in Saturday X Lotto draw 4491 drawn Saturday 3 August 2024. Each division one winning entry pocketed $1,044,169.77.
 
“This is a nice call to receive!” the woman laughed when an official from The Lott called to confirm her win.
 
“I checked my ticket about 10.30pm on Saturday night. I thought it was just $1,000. I’m looking at it, thinking, ‘something’s not right here’.
 

“I showed a family member. Then it hit us – there’s more digits!
 

“So, I didn’t sleep very well on Saturday night.
 
“I’ve been playing these numbers for about 30 years. They were just the numbers I liked when I first filled out the coupon and I’ve stuck with them. Each week I just play them again.
 
“I’ve had a few wins before, but nothing like this.
 
“I’m glad the numbers came up while I can still enjoy the prize!
 
“I might upgrade the car and then sit on the rest for a while for my retirement nest egg.”
 
The woman’s winning marked 14-game entry was purchased at Campbell’s Newsagency, Shop 2 & 3, Hallett Cove Shopping Centre, 246 Lonsdale Road, Hallett Cove.
