A Cervantes woman who stuck with her Saturday Lotto numbers for 25 years is now celebrating a $255,000 Division One prize.
The win, from Saturday’s 19 April draw, was one of two Division One wins in Western Australia.
The winner said she was left ‘dumbfounded’ after discovering her ticket from Pinnacles Post and News was a Division One prize.
“I went to check my ticket, however, the newsagent took me aside and waited until the store was clear to tell me the good news,” she said.
The Cervantes woman said her son was in shock, as he had told her to give up on playing those numbers a long time ago.
“I told my son I’d buy him a new car, but he said no mum this is your win you deserve it and need to enjoy it.”
Meanwhile, the other WA Division One prize from this draw, purchased via Lotterywest Play Online, has been claimed by a Perth man in his 50s.
Lotterywest spokesperson James Mooney said the past week has been a flurry of good news for WA players.
“It’s been wonderful to see so many WA families recently celebrate a Division One prize, from our $30 million Powerball win to this duo of Saturday Lotto winners,” he said.
“As we close out April, we have recorded 24 Division One wins in WA this year and would love to see this number grow following tonight’s Millionaire Medley draw.”
Tickets for the draw are available until 6pm on Monday in-store, online and via the Lotterywest App.
