February windfall for Albany and Mandurah

The new year continues to shine for WA players with two Division One winners to kick off the month of February.

 

A Saturday Lotto ticket from Mandurah Greenfields Newsagency is now worth more than $692,000, with the store also selling a Division Two ticket.

 

The good news didn’t stop there, with a ticket from Clark’s Newsagency in Albany picking up a $99,134 Super66 Division One prize.

 

Owner of Clark’s Newsagency Greg Hopkins said he was delighted to see another win come from his store.

 

“I’ve been here for around 20 years and, in that time, our store has sold more than 20 Division One prizes,” Mr Hopkins said.

 

“Although we’ve had a few Division One wins over the year, the feeling you get when you discover you have sold another one never gets old.”

 

Lotterywest spokesperson James Mooney said WA’s good fortune is spreading throughout the State.

 

“2020 has been very kind to WA players, with eight Division One games sold throughout the early stages of this year,” Mr Mooney said.

 

“Most of these games were sold north of Perth, so to see a Division One Prize from Mandurah and Albany this time is proof a life-changing prize can be sold anywhere.

 

“On top of our run of winners, it’s also good to know by simply playing Lotterywest games you’re supporting hundreds of community groups.”

 

Lotterywest recently provided a $1.6 million grant to revamp the Albany Town Hall.

 

While in Mandurah, Lotterywest provided a grant towards new boats for the Mandurah Marine Rescue Group.
