WA secures $16.6 million share in tonight’s OZ Lotto jackpot

Western Australia has welcomed another Division 1 Lotto winner after the State took out a $16.6 million share in tonight’s $50 million OZ Lotto jackpot.

Three national Division 1 winning tickets, each worth $16.6 million, were produced - one from WA that was sold at The Lucky Charm Gwelup and the others from Queensland and New South Wales.

Lotterywest spokesperson Chloe Lawler said tonight’s win was the largest in WA for the year, overtaking two $15 million Lotto prizes won earlier in 2017.

“Tonight’s win contributes to the State’s fast growing tally of Division 1 Lotto winners which has now reached 36 so far this year,” Ms Lawler said.

“These winners alone have now shared in over $90 million in prize money,” she added.

“I’m certainly looking forward to welcoming our newest multimillionaire to the Lotterywest winner’s room sometime soon.”

Over 141,000 other lucky locals picked up a prize in tonight’s OZ Lotto jackpot, including one Division 2 winning ticket worth almost $47,000 that was sold at Subiaco Square Lottery Centre.

Tonight’s winning OZ Lotto numbers were: 2, 45, 29, 7, 23, 19 and 21

The WA community has also won big in tonight’s draw after it was revealed sales throughout the jackpot roll generated over $7 million for the State.
