Mother and daughter thank 26-year-old ‘lucky’ numbers for $822,853 Lotto win
A mother and daughter from the Great Southern region have claimed their $822,853 Division 1 Saturday Lotto prize from the weekend.
The mother changed up the pair’s weekly Lotto ritual by buying their Saturday Lotto ticket from Katanning Lottery Centre three days earlier than usual.
Each week for the past 26 years, the duo purchased two lines of Lotto consisting of a line of odd numbers and a line of birthday numbers. This weekend, their odd numbers came through.
“I check my tickets every Saturday evening and I originally thought we had five numbers, which has happened a few times before, but then I looked again. There were all six!” said the mother.

In a sliding doors moment at Lakelands Newsagency, he almost decided not to buy the Division One winning ticket when the store’s EFTPOS machine wasn’t working.
“I was with my dog and when I discovered I had six numbers, I panicked and called my mum,” he said.
“She said if you have six numbers, you’ve done alright.”

Missing millionaire revealed as Byford family syndicate
The wait for an outstanding million dollar winner has come to an end with a family from Byford finally coming forward to claim a $1.3 million Lotto win almost three weeks after the draw.
The syndicate of five, who purchased the ticket from Haynes Good News Agency in Brookdale, had been unaware of their million dollar status over the last few weeks, until recently remembering to check their ticket.
“I was adamant to tell the family together,” the mother said.
“So I got them around the table and on the phone, told them we’d won big and then slowly read out the prize value and winning numbers.
“Everyone thought it was a joke and that I’d gone mad!”
This weekend is another chance to create a story made for mum.
Head into a Lotterywest retailer to spoil mum this Mother’s Day with a scratchie gift pack.
