Taking a $5.9 million leaf out of a book

The Western Australian owner of an OZ Lotto ticket worth $5.9 million has an out of stock book to thank for her win.
 
The woman from Perth’s southern suburbs, said she wasn’t intending to buy an OZ Lotto ticket when she stopped by The Lucky Charm Waikiki.
 
“I went to the newsagent to buy a book, but they didn’t have it,” she said.
 
Instead of buying the book she walked away with a Slikpik 18 that matched the numbers to the entire $5.9 million Division One prize.
 
“I’ve been playing for donkey’s years and the most I have ever won is $66,” she said.
 
“This win is going to make a massive difference to my family.”
 
Lotterywest spokesperson James Mooney said Tuesday night’s win makes 74 WA Division One winners for 2020.
 
“The next big chance for players to win big is the upcoming $30 million Megadraw on 2 January 2021,” Mr Mooney said.
 
“Tickets are available from Lotterywest in-store, online or via the app."
 
Thanks to those who purchase Lotterywest tickets, all available profits support the WA community through the Lotterywest grants program.
