Lotto: Luckiest Saturday Lotto numbers of last forty years revealed ahead of $30 million mega draw on July 26
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.

Uma Thurman reveals the one reason she doesn't want to force her children to obey her
Uma Thurman does not want to force her children to obey her. The Kill Bill actress is a mother to three children: Maya, 26, and Levon, 23, from her marriage to Ethan Hawke, and Luna, 13, whose father is the financier Arpad 'Arki' Busson. Opening up about her busy life juggling her career and motherhood, Uma told The Sunday Times about her clear view on discipline when it comes to her kids: 'You don't want to make a girl be obedient. It's not in her best interests.'' She made the comments during a Zoom interview from her rural New York home. Uma also spoke warmly about the joys of her childrem's spirited independence, adding" 'It's kind of wonderful that they know the rules and don't always listen.' She added she reflects on her own youth when it comes to raising her family, adding: 'As a mother, the freedoms I was given as a teenage girl are mind-boggling. 'I mean, it's unimaginable. Those were different times.' Uma described her teenage years as marked by independence and self-reliance during her interview with The Sunday Times, By 15, she was earning money, navigating New York alone, and attending auditions with 'just a Filofax and a quarter in case I got lost and needed to call someone', she revealed. Her upbringing had encouraged autonomy – as her parents, Robert Thurman and Nena von Schlebrügge, were independent figures who allowed her to follow her path without restraint. She said: 'Both my parents did the same sort of thing when they were young. They were very independent. So I think there was a certain amount of being raised to be independent.' Uma shared her approach to parenting her own children, particularly when it comes to giving her eldest daughter, Maya, advice about her blossoming acting career. She said: 'Oh, she knows what she's doing. She went to Juilliard, thank God. She actually finished high school. 'And what I did learn (about mothering) is that nobody listens. So it's really about being there for them rather than telling them what to do.' She also spoke about allowing Maya freedom with her style, laughing her daughter has 'ransacked' her iconic 1990s wardrobe, including the very first Prada dress she wore to the Oscars. With her youngest now a teenager, Thurman described entering what she calls the 'sunset period' of motherhood. She added: 'I'm starting to think about what comes next, when I don't have to invest so much energy in shopping and driving and emailing teachers and all the things we do.'

Uma Thurman opens up about intense physical preparation she underwent for Kill Bill movies
Uma Thurman has opened up about the intense physical preparation she underwent for the Kill Bill movies. The 55-year-old actress, renowned for her iconic role as The Bride in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill Vol 1 and Vol 2, discussed her martial arts training during an interview about her new project, The Old Guard 2. Revealing her return to action films this year came without time for full training, Uma told The Sunday Times: 'Fortunately I had put in hundreds of hours learning how to hold a sword (for Kill Bill 1 and 2),' she said. In her new action film, a sequel to the 2020 Netflix action hit, Uma plays Discord, a 5,000-year-old immortal warrior who engages in an epic sword fight opposite Charlize Theron's character, Andromache, near a secret nuclear facility. Uma added about her Kill Bill muscle memory coming in handy during the shoot: 'You may not be limber and strong. 'But if your brain has learnt how to memorise sequences of movements, you can get back in that zone.' For Kill Bill, Uma trained for eight hours a day across three months in preparation for the role. That experience, she said, proved invaluable when returning to the genre. Her character in The Old Guard 2 marks her first sword-wielding performance since Quentin Tarantino's films, and it has been more than two decades since she last performed choreographed combat on screen. Uma's new film is directed by Victoria Mahoney and follows a group of age-old warriors with supernatural powers who fight to protect humanity. The original, directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, was praised for its blend of grounded drama and stylised violence. Speaking about the appeal of The Old Guard, Uma said: 'I thought that first movie was really unusual, a superb female-led action film that had depth, drama and really beautiful, naturalistic acting.' She also credited her co-star and producer Charlize Theron, 48, as a major draw for signing on. Uma added: 'Charlize is a miraculous performer, a very powerful individual and as charismatic in person as on screen. 'And I liked the idea of playing a supporting role to another actress who I thought had done really significant work in the drama/action field.' Charlize, who also produced both instalments of The Old Guard, told The Sunday Times as part of its feature on Uma: 'I have always admired Uma from afar. From Dangerous Liaisons to Kill Bill, her work is a masterclass in finding the micro in characters. 'In moments I got so lost watching her in scenes we had together that I had to remind myself I was in the scene with her. She's that captivating.'
