REVEALED: Luckiest Saturday Lotto numbers in history
Ahead of the Saturday Lotto $30 million Megadraw next Saturday, many West Aussies will roll out the same sequence of sentimental digits they always have, whether fruitful in the past or not.
But statistically speaking, it might just pay to study the trends instead of banking on your children's birthdays to make you an instant millionaire.
Crunching the winning numbers from the past 40 years, from July 1985 to mid-this month, Lotterywest reports the number one itself has been the most frequently drawn, or luckiest, contributing to the winning set of numbers 417 times in that period.
The next luckiest figures are eleven and eight, drawn 414 and 407 times, respectively.
With a total of 45 numbers available for selection in the popular weekend game, 44 has been statistically the least reliable for players, drawn on just 329 occasions.
This represents a 'luck' disparity of 26 per cent between the most and least frequently drawn numbers. And for some, perhaps motivation to rethink 'trusty' 44.
See below for the full list of luckiest to least lucky Saturday Lotto numbers (inclusive of draws 413 to 4589).
Many players use Playslips to select their preferred numbers, but most often, it's randomly generated figures at the point of sale that result in Division One wins.
'WA players often play using special numbers like meaningful dates, including birthdays or anniversaries, though winning numbers are entirely random,' a Lotterywest spokesperson told The Sunday Times.
'Slikpiks, where numbers are randomly generated by the terminal, are responsible for around 65 per cent of Division One wins across all games. The most popular Saturday Lotto ticket sold in WA is a Slikpik 12, which costs $11.40.'
Since the beginning of 2025, 33 tickets sold in WA have resulted in a Division One Saturday Lotto prize.
In May, a Warnbro couple planned an 'extra luxurious haircut for their beloved dog' after bagging a $1.2 million Saturday Lotto pay day from just a $6.65 Playslip.
With a whopping $30 million on the table next Saturday, Lotterywest advises pooling funds with family or friends in a syndicate to maximise the chances of raking in a life-changing haul.

Maya Jama shares summer style secrets
Maya Jama's summer style is inspired by 1990s supermodels. The 30-year-old TV presenter has revealed she likes to feel comfortable when she's not working so she spends the summer months wearing loose-fitting shirts teamed with shorts or jeans. She told The Sunday Times newspaper: "Oversized shirts with shorts or skinny jeans. My inspiration is 1990s off-duty supermodels - they loved a big white shirt with a big belt, boots or kitten heels." Maya has been seen wearing more glamorous outfits during her stint hosting ITV2 reality show Love Island this summer - and she's revealed her onscreen outfits are also 1990s-inspired. She explained: "It's a sexy show so we've always fed into that, but this year we've delved into some vintage designer archives, in particular preloved looks from the 1990s - a few Chanel pieces, some 1994 Versace - to elevate it a bit but keep it fun. Think bright, colourful minidresses." Maya admitted the costumes she wears on TV can be quite uncomfortable but she's prepared to "suffer" for a few hours of work. She added: "When I started, there were so many rules. For my first job at MTV they wanted me to look like a member of Little Mix, but now I get to wear what I want, really. I sacrifice comfort! "On TV I always think you can suffer for a couple of hours in an outfit, whereas day to day I'm all about comfort. I have learnt that small prints and patterns don't look as good on telly - crisscrosses, stripes, they don't translate as well on camera." Maya previously shared her top beauty tip and revealed it doesn't cost a thing - explaining she likes to dip her face in ice cold water first thing in the morning to reduce puffiness and perk up tired skin - but an ice-roller will also do the job. According to The Sunday Times, she said: "I'm a big believer in dunking your face in ice-cold water every morning - it helps reduce puffiness and tiredness and definitely helps your face feel 'snatched' first thing. "You could also use an ice roller as an alternative, but I think doing it quickly and all at once is easiest." Maya went on to share her other advice which includes taking off make-up before bed and using eye masks regularly. She added: "I always try not to wear make-up to bed, and I'd say I'm 99 per cent good at that. "It's really important to look after your eyes and I love an eye mask. I make sure I always have an MIJ mask in my bag so I can pop it on in a cab or use it on a flight to keep my eyes hydrated and refreshed."

Black Sabbath bandmate shocked by 'frail' Ozzy Osbourne
Geezer Butler "wasn't prepared" for how "frail" Ozzy Osbourne was during rehearsals for the Black Sabbath reunion gig. The band got back together for one huge final show - the Back to the Beginning concert - at Villa Park in their home town of Birmingham, England, on July 5 and bassist Butler admitted he was shocked to see singer Osbourne in such poor health. In an essay written for The Sunday Times newspaper, Butler said: "The rehearsals for that final show started a month before at a studio in the Oxfordshire countryside. "Tony Iommi, Bill Ward and I ran through seven songs together. Of course, not having played together for 20 years, it took a couple of days to get rid of the rust. "Then it was time for Ozzy to join us. I knew he wasn't in good health, but I wasn't prepared to see how frail he was. "He was helped into the rehearsal room by two helpers and a nurse and was using a cane - being Ozzy, the cane was black and studded with gold and precious stones." Butler went on to reveal his friend - who died on July 22 just two weeks after the concert - was unusually quiet during rehearsals because he found the work so exhausting. "(Ozzy) didn't really say much beyond the usual greetings and when he sang, he sat in a chair," Butler said. "We ran through the songs but we could see it was exhausting him after six or seven songs. "We had a bit of a chat, but he was really quiet compared with the Ozzy of old." Butler said he wished he had been able to spend more time with Osbourne because he had no idea the appearance at the gig would be the last time they would ever see each other. "Nobody knew he'd be gone from us little more than two weeks after the final show, but I am so grateful we got to play one last time together in front of his beloved fans."

Geezer concluded the piece by writing: "God bless, Oz, it has been one hell of a ride! Love you!"
