The two from WA were from Carramar Lottery Centre and News and Woodvale Boulevard News.

Milan Gohil from the Morley store said it was a delightful surprise to discover his store had sold another life-changing prize.

“It’s just luck and the good will of the customers,” Mr Gohil said.

“I saw a few new faces after the previous draw, so I hope their decision to try out our store will have a good impact for them.”

Lotterywest spokesperson James Mooney said 2020 has been a fast start for the State.

“Every week we welcome Division One winners into our Winners Room, but it’s very unusual to have the same store sell two Division One tickets in the space of a week,” Mr Mooney said.

“So far this year we have celebrated six WA Division One prizes and we’re only in January.”
