A 52-year-old South Australian man is $1 million richer after matching every winning number in a recent FutureBall draw, with the windfall set to pay off his mortgage and take his family on a well overdue holiday.
Sometimes, all it takes is one winning ticket to change everything. For one South Australian man, that moment has arrived after he matched all six main numbers and the FutureBall to secure the $1 million Division 1 prize.
The winning numbers were 8, 11, 16, 19, 24, 30 and 1.
Disbelief Turns to Joy
Upon hearing the good news from The Lottery Office, he could hardly believe it.
“Really? Is this a wind up?” was his reaction when he realised he had become a millionaire.
Now, with $1 million coming his way, the winner is already looking forward to what the windfall will mean for his future.
“This is life changing. It finishes off the mortgage,” he said.
Paying off the mortgage will give the South Australian a nice financial milestone to celebrate, and what better way to celebrate than taking the family on a fun filled holiday.
Jaclyn Wood, CEO of The Lottery Office was thrilled to hear of another winner,
“Making people’s dreams come true is a great part of the job! We created FutureBall with the aim of creating more Aussie millionaires!” she said.
FutureBall: A $1 Million Prize to Play For
Launched in April 2026, FutureBall is already making waves as Australia’s most winnable million-dollar lottery^.

With a top prize of $1 million, FutureBall offers the potential of paying off a mortgage, enjoying more financial freedom, helping loved ones or finally ticking off long-held goals.
Unlike lotteries where the Division 1 prize can be shared between multiple winners, FutureBall's key advantage is that a Division 1 winner takes home the entire $1 million prize, and 100% tax-free.
Costing just 95 cents per game (minimum 5 games) players can enter two draws a week, held every Tuesday and Friday. FutureBall offers another way for Aussies to dream big, with regular opportunities to win.
The Winners List is Growing
To date, The Lottery Office has made over 10 million individual payouts to Australians across multiple lotteries to many lucky winners.
