Western Australia has welcomed its twenty-second Division 1 Lotto winner for 2017 after one lucky local picked up $271,775 in the weekend’s Saturday Lotto draw.
The winning ticket was one of 15 Division 1 winners nationally in the draw, with WA’s winning ticket sold through Lotterywest Play Online.
Lotterywest spokesperson Pina Compagnone said this year’s WA Division 1 winners have now shared in almost $60 million worth of prizes.
“Almost four months into the year and we’re averaging over one Division 1 winner a week,” Ms Compagnone said.
“This has included some memorable moments including two $15 million wins just within a month.”
Over 93,000 other West Aussies picked up a prize in the weekend’s Saturday Lotto draw including 20 players who each collected just over $5,000 in Division 2.
When you play with Lotterywest – all of WA wins with a third of money spent on Lotterywest games supporting the WA community.
This includes a Lotterywest Grant over just over $1 million to The Returned & Services League WA State Branch to support a range of this year’s ANZAC commemoration activities.
