Lotto: Luckiest Saturday Lotto numbers of last forty years revealed ahead of $30 million mega draw on July 26
They may be drawn completely at random, but historic records held by Lotterywest reveal some Lotto numbers are in fact luckier than others. 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.

Fremantle Dockers star Jordan Clark's hilarious response to featuring on The Sunday Times back page
Fremantle star Jordan Clark was front and centre on the back page of The Sunday Times following a gritty win over Hawthorn that lifted the Dockers into the top eight. But instead, it was the front page that caught the dashing defender's eye in a hilarious reaction video posted on Youtube. Clark's emotion was evident as he celebrated the 13-point win at Optus Stadium on Sunday, raising his fists in the air as the siren sounded. The moment encapsulated Fremantle's thrilling victory perfectly and was featured on the back page of Sunday's edition with the words 'Hawk Yeah'. As Clark recounted the game on the club's 'Better Down Back' podcast, co-host and Dockers AFLW star Emma O'Driscoll held up The Sunday Times. 'How good!,' O'Driscoll said, admiring and also poking fun at Clark's squat-like stance in a clip posted to Youtube on Friday. After noticing the story on the front page, which detailed the remarkable tale of the German backpacker Carolina Wilga, who was found alive after 12 days in the WA outback, Clark says: 'Anyway, flip it around.' 'Unbelievable how that German chick got found as well, by the way,' Clark says, prompted laughter from behind the camera. 'Out in the bush. I thought she was gone for all money.' O'Driscoll struggles to contain herself at Clark's reaction, placing the newspaper on her lap and covering her face. 'What? She was missing in the bush for 12 days!' he continues. 'A pretty good story that one, a feel-good story.' The Dockers will hope for another celebratory back page on Monday after facing ladder-leaders Collingwood at the MCG on Sunday.

Game of Thrones stars Sophie Turner and Kit Harington reunite as lovers in new horror film
Sophie Turner and Kit Harington, best known for playing siblings Sansa Stark and Jon Snow on Game of Thrones, reunite in the upcoming gothic horror film The Dreadful—but this time, as lovers. In a recent Vogue interview, Turner admitted the romantic scenes felt 'really weird' after portraying siblings for nearly a decade. 'We're doing a gothic horror… but we play lovers,' she said, adding, 'Sorry, guys. It's really weird for all of us.' Set during the 15th-century War of the Roses—a historical conflict that inspired Game of Thrones—The Dreadful follows Anne (Turner), a reclusive woman whose quiet life is disrupted when a man from her past (Harington) reappears, triggering dark events. Turner even suggested Harington for the role, telling The Sunday Times, 'You can't not have Kit.' Their casting adds extra meaning for longtime fans familiar with their on-screen history. Directed by Natasha Kermani (Lucky), The Dreadful also stars Marcia Gay Harden and Laurence O'Fuarain. The film wrapped last year and is expected to release later in 2025.
