The mystery Lismore Lotto winner has confessed he broke out into a little jig after discovering late yesterday that he had scored more than $1.3 million in the weekend’s Saturday Lotto draw.

The local resident held one of the four division one winning entries nationally in Saturday Lotto draw 4533, drawn Saturday 28 December 2024. Each division one winning entry scored $1,352,707.86.

“I’m happy, jumping and dancing!” the man exclaimed when speaking to an official from The Lott.

“I’m a weekly player – I grab a Saturday Lotto ticket each week and then check it on the Monday. It’s just one of those rituals you have.

“Sometimes I win $7... and sometimes I win $1.3 million!

“You have those idle dreams about winning big, but you don’t think it will ever happen to you.

“I’m so overwhelmed. I want to dance around and shout it out.

“Anytime is a good time to win, but at this time of year, it’s especially good!

“I’m going to pay off the mortgage and then an early retirement.

“I can’t believe it. I might just wander around in a daze for the next day or so.”

His winning entry was purchased at Lismore Central Newspro, Shop T10, Lismore Shopping Centre, 44 Carrington Street, Lismore.

Lismore Central Newspro outlet representative Nicole Renshaw said she was celebrating another big win landing at her outlet.

“Our last big division one winning ticket was in February 2023, so it’s great to have another one!” she said.

“It’s always exciting to sell a big winning ticket. We are telling everyone about our lucky win.

“We wish our winner all the very best with their prize.”

The winning numbers in Saturday Lotto draw 4533 on 28 December 2024 were 26, 41, 4, 12, 29 and 40, while the supplementary numbers were 34 and 31.

Across Australia, there were four division one winning entries in Saturday Lotto draw 4533 – two in New South Wales and one each in Victoria and South Australia.
