Imagine receiving a phone call that suddenly changes your life. For one Adelaide man, this scenario became a reality when he received 'the best call I’ve ever had,' confirming a whopping $400,000 win from a weekend Lotto draw. Initially skeptical, the man couldn't believe his luck when he realized the extent of his win, initially thinking it might just be a modest $7 prize.

The fortunate winner, who has been playing the same numbers for years after randomly selecting them one day, is now plotting a future filled with home renovations and dream holidays. 'That was a lovely surprise. Better than a kick in the guts,' he exclaimed, still in disbelief over his newfound fortune.

This Adelaide local's story is a testament to the power of persistence and a little bit of luck. His long-term commitment to his chosen Lotto numbers finally paid off, and he's now faced with the enviable task of deciding how to spend his $400,000 windfall. The possibilities are endless, from upgrading his home to jet-setting across the globe.

The South Australian's win was part of a larger draw, with 13 division one winning entries nationally in Saturday’s X Lotto draw 4509, each securing $401,209. His story wasn't the only one to capture hearts and headlines. In Mackay, Central Queensland, a mother was left 'shaking' from the shock of her win, her reaction so intense that her daughter rushed to her side, urging her to breathe. For this family, the prize money is a lifeline, offering financial relief to pay bills and the mortgage, transforming their lives in an instant.

These stories highlight the transformative power of luck and chance, and how a simple ticket can lead to life-altering outcomes.

Many years ago I won just over $3,000. We had a holiday booked and paid for to Dubai, Monaco and Paris and we were leaving the following week. With the extra money we did a few things we knew we couldn't have afforded otherwise. Should we have put it away for a rainy day? Who knows?
