Lucky Leap Year winning streak with 19th Division 1 Lotto win in two months!

WA has again struck it lucky after a Division 1 ticket for the weekend’s Saturday Lotto draw was sold locally.

In what is starting to look like a lucky year for WA players, the winners tally has already reached 19 - four Division one wins ahead of the same time last year!

The high number of wins also means at least one WA player has won Division 1 in every Saturday Lotto draw this year making it the perfect time to start playing Saturday Lotto and dreaming a little each weekend!

The latest winning ticket was sold at Nextra Forum West Newsagency in Mandurah and will payout a prize of $674,052.

Nextra Forum West Newsagency’s store owner, Glenn Cornish, said this is the stores third Division 1 win in two years.

“After our last lot of big wins things quietened down but the wheel has reached the top of the cycle again so now’s the time to get a winning ticket!” he said.

“Lots of customers have been talking about the lucky streak and they’re really happy to know someone local has won it this time.”

“Everyone’s really excited and I can’t wait to crack open the champagne!”

But it’s not just WA’s Lotto winners who get to celebrate. Last financial year $283 million was given back to the WA community through our grants.

Groups to receive a Lotterywest grant have included the City of Mandurah who was given $84,523 in January towards the construction of a boardwalk along the St Ives walking trail in Mandurah.

Dream a little this Saturday

Everyone has a Lotto dream. From buying your dream home, exploring the world with friends or spending more time with family, the possibilities are endless and playing Saturday Lotto could make your dreams a reality.

With the chance to win an estimated $4 million every week, why not dream a little with a ticket in this weekend’s Saturday Lotto draw.

Tickets can be purchased in-store, through Play Online or on the Lotterywest App.
