Lucky Couple Hits Weekday Windfall Jackpot

On Thursday, The Lott released details regarding the fortunate south-east Melbourne residents. While their identity was kept a secret, the lottery confirmed that there’s an interesting story behind the couple’s recent top prize win.

The lucky husband revealed that he doesn’t usually play lotteries, with an exception being cases where there’s a large jackpot. The man knew that there was an AU$50 million top prize from OzLotto, but when he decided to purchase a ticket, it was already too late.

While he thought of buying a ticket for Oz Lotto’s next drawing, the man decided to try his luck with a different ticket instead. This is how the south-east Melbourne resident gave Weekday Windfall a try. To his and the surprise of his wife, that entry hit the top prize from the game’s drawing 4531 on Wednesday, April 9, 2025.

The winning 3 x System 7 entry was purchased via The Lott’s official website. The winning numbers from Weekday Windfall’s drawing 4531 on Wednesday were 36, 30, 35, 15, 29 and 27, while the supplementary numbers were 4 and 38.

The Winner’s Wife Was Creaming with Joy

The newly minted millionaire shared his excitement with an official from the lottery. He said: “I can’t believe it. This means the absolute world to our family. We feel so fortunate and lucky.” Recalling how he decided to buy a Weekday Windfall ticket after missing the drawing for Oz Lotto, the man said that it’s a “funny story.”

“Woo! Thank you! That’s my wife screaming in the background,“

To make matters even more exciting, the lucky winner admitted that after purchasing the ticket, he forgot about it. “And then I completely forgot I even had it! How awesome is that? It’s truly life-changing,” the man said. The couple admitted that they already have plans for the windfall. The lucky winner said that their kids are a top priority for himself and his wife.

Now, thanks to the life-changing prize, the couple will settle their mortgage payments and give their kids a great start. “We’ve also got relatives overseas we’ve been wanting the kids to meet, but it’s just never been possible, until now,” the husband said, once again thanking the lottery about the unexpected life-changing prize.
