It got even hotter on the weekend for one Saturday Lotto player who became Western Australia’s 50th Division One winner.
The ticket, from Australind News and Post, was one of six Division One tickets sold across the country and is worth $659,502.
The winning numbers were 22, 11, 32, 31, 28, 34.
Australind News and Post owner Stephen Lucas said the store had been buzzing since news broke.
“Everyone is coming in to check their tickets,” he said.
“It’s fantastic for the South West and it’s $650,000 that could potentially go back into the South West economy.
“Our advice if you bought a ticket here recently is to come in and check it, and get then another ticket for Thursday’s $40 million Powerball jackpot.”
Lotterywest spokesperson Hermione Coleman said the latest win means there are now two WA Division One winners yet to claim their prize.
“We’re still waiting to greet a Saturday Lotto Division One player from two weeks ago,” Ms Coleman said.
“The online player is $1.67 million richer, so I’d imagine they’re in for quite a surprise just before the holiday season.”
There’s another chance for WA players with Thursday’s $40 million Powerball jackpot.
Powerball tickets are available from Lotterywest in-store, online or through the app.
