A Busselton woman has used the two-hour drive to Lotterywest HQ to map out her plans following a $1.6 million Saturday Lotto win.
Thanks to her Slikpik 12 from West Busselton News and Post, the winner said a strange message popped up on the machine when she checked her ticket.
"I said, don't tell me I've won Division One," she said.
"The owner held my hand and said, 'you've won'.
As she travelled to Perth from Busselton to claim the $1.6 million prize, the two-hour journey gave her time to decide how to spend her winnings.
"When I was driving up, my kids were in my ear telling me it's time to buy a new car, no more excuses," she said.
This ticket was one of two Division One prizes to come out of the South West this weekend, with the second prize sold from NewsXpress Bunbury Forum, which is yet to be claimed.
Lotterywest spokesperson James Mooney said the next chance for WA players to win big is in tonight's $15 million OZ Lotto draw.
"WA has been on a run this past week with three Division One winning tickets across Powerball and Saturday Lotto," he said.
"It would be great to celebrate another WA winner following tonight's $15 million OZ Lotto draw."
Thanks to WA players and retailers, Lotterywest returns all available profits to the WA community in the form of grants.
Lotterywest support has helped Busselton Jetty establish an artificial reef to increase marine biomass and education about the local environment.
The reef, consisting of underwater sculptures, are part of a trail at the northern end of the Busselton Jetty, thanks to a $1 million Lotterywest grant towards the installation.
