$20 million is no Dad joke

Want to be crowned as favourite child? 

Stuck for a Father’s Day gift?

If you’ve answered yes to either of those questions, the upcoming Saturday Lotto Superdraw has got you covered, and we don’t mean with boring old socks and jocks.

Imagine showing up to Father’s Day breakfast with $20 million in your pocket to share with Dad. That could buy a lot of power tools, fishing rods, ties…and some trips to his favourite holiday spots!

We had a look through the archives for some of our favourite purchases winning Dads said they’d make with their Lotto prize.

Gifts for all thanks to split second decision

An Armadale Dad was buying groceries for his young daughter when he saw a Lotterywest sign and decided on a whim to buy a ticket. This decision made him more than $5.8 million richer! Unemployed due to COVID-19, he plans to use his winnings to help his brother and Mum, before going back to university to study.

"I really look up to [my brother] and he's been struggling to find the finances to buy a house - but I'm going to buy him a whole house now!

Throw some shrimp on the barbie

A tradesman Dad told us after his $6 million Powerball win that “It didn’t take me long to pull myself together and remind her [his wife] that I could now buy that BBQ I had my eye on.”

Home run

We often hear that prize money is going towards paying off the mortgage or a new home, but a Dad whose family took home $10 million in OZ Lotto in December 2016 said their new home “will have all the bells and whistles – two storeys, a pool and even a new family dog.”

And in the same month a father from the South West said he planned to buy a small acreage and build his dream home with his $785,465 prize. Doesn’t that sound divine?!

So treat Dad (and yourself) in the $20 million Saturday Lotto Superdraw on 5 September!

Remember - if you purchase Dad a ticket for Father’s Day and register it under your own Lotterywest Membership, then he’ll need you to present your membership card to collect any winnings.
