The search is on for two more syndicate players from last week’s Saturday Lotto draw which saw five players share in a million-dollar windfall.
The prize from Somes Newsagency in Fremantle, will see each of the five winners claim a $215,673 prize.
One of the winners, a couple from North Coogee, said his persistence finally paid off despite calls from his wife to stop trying with Lotto.
“This time it was a win for the husbands,” he joked.
“My wife sent me a clip from the paper about the win from Fremantle, so I grabbed the ticket off the fridge.”
That ticket will now pay for a nice dinner and a chunk off their mortgage.
Lotterywest spokesperson Pina Compagnone said two more syndicate players are yet to claim their six-figure prize.
“The great thing about syndicates is when the ticket matches the numbers, it means a win for multiple Western Australians,” Ms Compagnone said.
“WA’s tally of Division One winners for the year has now reached 44 with these prizes totalling $55.5 million.
“We would love to see this number grow with another winner in Tuesday’s $10 million OZ Lotto jackpot.”
When you play with Lotterywest, you’re also contributing to the WA community, with all available profits from Lotterywest tickets going back to the community through the COVID-19 Relief Fund.
Community groups to receive this support include the St Patrick’s Community Support Centre based in Fremantle, who were provided with a $214,343 grant in June to help those experiencing hardship in the south-west metropolitan area, with food relief and immediate support.
