In a crowded rush of luck, thirteen lucky punters have all seemingly struck gold, matching all six winning numbers to take home a share of the $5.2 million Division One prize in Saturday Lotto Draw 4509, held on 5 October 2024.
The winning numbers for the draw were [13], [30], [18], [24], [27], [15], with supplementary numbers [41] and [26].
With so many winners striking it lucky tonight, the top prize was split into 13 slim slices, with each winner walking away with only $401,209 from the otherwise massive $5.2 million jackpot.
According to preliminary division calculations, five of the winning entries were sold in Victoria, four in Queensland, two in New South Wales, one in South Australia, and one in Western Australia.
To win Division One in Saturday Lotto, an entry must match all six winning numbers in a single game row. With odds of 1 in about 8.1 million to win the top prize, Saturday Lotto frequently produces a sizable number of winners in a flurry of luck, especially given the increasingly large volume of entries sold for each draw.
In contrast, lotteries like Powerball offer far more elusive Division One prizes, with odds as steep as 1 in 134 million, making multiple winners much less common.
Thousands of other players also claimed smaller prizes across the lower divisions, sharing in a total prize pool of $17.4 million.

- Division 1: Thirteen winners each took home $401,209.07, sharing a total of $5,215,717.91.
