Winning weekend for WA with Saturday Lotto and Set for Life

Two Western Australians have joined the millionaires’ club this weekend with one winner now $20,000 a month richer for the next 20 years after taking out Saturday night’s Set for Life 1st Prize and another winning a $3.3 million share in Saturday's Superdraw.
 
The Set for Life ticket was sold at Wongan Newsagency, with the winning numbers 8, 35, 27, 30, 37, 21, 10, 34 with bonus numbers 2 and 28.
 
The total prize adds up to $4.8 million over 20 years.
 
Owner of Wongan Newsagency Desmond Booth said the news of a local Set for Life winner was a delightful surprise.
 
“It was such a shock when I found out we had sold the winning ticket, I went to check my own but no such luck,” he said.
 
“We have been here for 27 years and this is our first Division One prize, so it’s fantastic to celebrate this win.”
 
It wasn’t WA’s only win of the weekend with a Saturday Lotto Superdraw ticket sold from Doogue’s Lucky Lotteries in Perth now worth $3,333,333.
 
Lotterywest spokesperson Jennie Fitzhadinge said it was sensational to announce another Set for Life winner in WA.
 
“This lucky player has become the State’s third winner to receive $20,000 a month for the next 20 years in 2019,” she said.
 
“It’s been a massive weekend for WA players sharing in Saturday Lotto’s Superdraw and now Set for Life.
 
“This brings the total number or Division One winners to 23.

“The WA community also wins with more than $3 million raised from Saturday’s Superdraw alone.
 
“We are also waiting to speak to another Saturday Lotto winner from last week’s draw, a ticket purchased from Marmion Post and Newsagency worth more than $573,000.”
 
When Western Australians play Lotterywest games the benefits stay in Western Australia in the form of grants for local organisations to essential services such as the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
