Mid-west strikes Lotto gold

A ticket purchased in Mt Magnet has taken home a share of the Division One prize pool in Saturday’s Lotto.

The winning ticket, worth $1,355,719 was sold from Mt Magnet Post and Lotteries.

Owner of the store, Jade Reed said they hadn’t had a win since 2020.

“Last time we had two Division Two wins and a $15,000 Powerball win all in the same month,” she said.

“I’ve always said if I sell a Division One ticket, I can retire happy.”

Saturday’s draw produced 173,978 WA winners across all divisions with 10 Division Two wins each worth over $10,500.

Lotterywest spokesperson Lisa Williams said it’s been a solid start to 2022 for WA players.

“WA has seen six Division One wins over the past two weeks, with our tally now at 23 for the year,” she said.

Tonight’s OZ Lotto has jackpotted to $10 million and Thursday’s Powerball has reached $8 million.

Tickets are available until 6pm on the day of the draw from Lotterywest in-store, online or via the app.
 
Thanks to those who purchase Lotterywest tickets, all available profits are returned to the WA community.
