Good things come to those who wait

Whenever you buy a Lotto ticket, does it burn a hole in your pocket until you check it? This is definitely the case for some of our players - we see them jump onto our website, open the app or head in-store to see if they're WA's newest Division 1 winners... and we don't blame them! After all, every Lotto ticket is a chance to dream about all the things you've always wanted to experience.

In early December, a Slikpik 25 for Saturday Lotto was sold by Margaret River Newsagency - and it turned out to be a Division 1 winner worth $785,465!

But it took a whole two weeks before the South West dad who bought the ticket even checked his numbers.

“I saw the sign at the newsagency which said they’d sold a Division 1 winning ticket and had a good feeling it could be me before I even checked my ticket.”

Now that he's officially a winner, he's planning on buying a small acreage to build his dream home, travel around Australia and help his family out. It's another Lotto dream come true! 

What does my money support in WA?

By playing Lotterywest games, you help dreams across the state come to life with all available profits from your Lotto ticket going straight back to the WA community. That’s the Ticket!

In the year 2022-23, we were able to give back $1.05 billion to the WA community in grants and prizes. So why not pick up a ticket today and keep WA winning?
