A southern suburbs woman has a double dose of good lottery luck, after she won more than $360,000 in Saturday’s X Lotto – 33 years after another a life-changing win.
The Henley Beach woman had one of the 13 division one winning entries in Saturday’s X Lotto draw.
All the winners will pocket $367,448.93.
Lott officials said the woman was “buzzing with excitement” when they told her about the win.
“My husband was the one who checked my numbers,” she told Lotto officials.
“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 each got about $260,000 each.
“I still have a vivid memory of all our numbers on the screen and I couldn’t believe it.”
She said she was pleased to share the win with the other division one players.
“I like sharing. It’s great that lots of winners took home division one over the weekend,” she said.
“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.”
The winning numbers in Saturday X Lotto draw 4543 were 12, 8, 18, 7, 41 and 1, while the supplementary numbers were 16 and 32.
The 14-game winning entry was bought from Rex’s Findon Newsagency, with manager Kirsten Hoare sharing her excitement for the second-time winner.
“We will be celebrating with decorations and talking to everyone about this great news,” Ms Hoare said.
“Over the last 40 years, we’ve had at least 16 division wins so we’re very lucky.”
It comes after two South Australians took home a total of $3.5m, after winning the Saturday X Lotto Draw and the Weekday Windfall draw last week.
