A South West couple’s decision to change up a 30-year tradition has guided them to a $1.3 million Saturday Lotto Division One prize.
After playing the same numbers for the past three decades, the couple decided to play last weekend’s Saturday Lotto with a Slikpik instead.
That decision and a ticket from Callows Corner in Busselton helped them match the numbers to a Division One prize in the draw on 25 February.
“We played with our own numbers for more than 30 years, but gave up and got a Slikpik instead,” the winner said.
“When I checked my ticket, at first, I was happy because I had three numbers, which covered the cost of my ticket, but the numbers just kept coming.”
Lotterywest spokesperson James Mooney said WA’s winning ways for February have continued to the very end with another Division One winner in Monday night’s draw.
“A ticket from Boulder Newsagency and Lotto has matched the numbers to a Monday
Lotto Division One prize of $1 million,” he said.
“Right now, we are waiting on five Division One winners to visit Lotterywest HQ to claim their seven figure prizes,” Mr Mooney said.
“Our advice is simple, if you have a ticket, check it.”
The next chance for players to win big is tonight’s $10 million OZ Lotto draw.
Tickets are available from Lotterywest in-store, online or via the app until 6pm draw day.
