Not only has WA’s latest Saturday Lotto winner benefited from the weekend draw, so has the entire local community, as 34 cents out of every dollar spent on Lotterywest Games goes back to support WA through Lotterywest Grants.
The South Coast Baptist College Incorporated in Waikiki was a recent recipient of this support, receiving a $102,522 Lotterywest Grant in June. These funds were used towards a nature-based outdoor play area, which is age-appropriate and meets the developmental needs of children attending the South Coast Baptist College Childcare Centre.
