A Henley Beach woman has been hit with a wave of déjà vu after scoring more than $360,000 in Saturday X Lotto, mirroring a life-enhancing division one win she experienced over 20 years ago.
The Adelaide resident held one of the 13 division one winning entries in Saturday X Lotto draw 4543, drawn Saturday 1 February 2025. Each division one winning entry pocketed $367,448.93.
The gleeful woman was still buzzing with excitement when we called to confirm the thrilling news.
“We just found out!” she laughed.
“Thank you. Thank you. It’s lovely.
“My husband was the one who checked my numbers. He came over and surprised me and I went ‘Oh my! This is the second time I’ve won!’.
“The first time I won was in 1992. It was a group of 10 of us and we all got about $260,000 each. I still have a vivid memory of all our numbers coming up on the screen and I couldn’t believe it.
“I like sharing. It’s great that lots of winners took home division one over the weekend.
“I always use the same numbers. I never change them!
“Thank you so much. I’ll be able to help my family so much with this.”
