On Saturday, June 28, 2025, Brisbane lit up with excitement as two lucky winners each scooped a whopping $1,629,922.69 in the Gold Lotto draw (Draw 4585). The winning entries included one purchase by a proud Deagon dad at Sandgate News & Gifts, and another by a private five-person syndicate from Morningside — both sharing the spotlight in Queensland’s lively lottery community.
In Deagon, the winning dad nearly removed culturally “unlucky” numbers 44 and 41 before the draw — and now those very digits nudged him toward fortune. Overwhelmed, he shared, “I was shocked… I’ve been playing the same numbers for 40‑odd years.” He plans to allocate the funds toward retirement, while being thoughtful about announcing the win to his family at the right time mediacentre.thelott.com.
This draw also produced four Division 1 winners across Australia, with two each in Victoria and Western Australia. All told, the total Division 1 prize pool reached $6.52 million, shared among four winners, while over 830,000 lower-tier winners collectively received $19.1 million
