WA’s Division One Saturday Lotto ticket is amongst nine winners nationwide to share in the almost $4 million prize pool.
The weekend win brings the State’s tally of Division One winners so far this year to 42, with those winners sharing in more than $92 million worth of prize money.
More than 82,400 other WA players picked up a prize in the weekend’s Saturday Lotto draw, including six Division Two winners who each collected $10,231.
The win is the second Division One take home for the City of Wanneroo this month, after a FIFO worker won $1 million with a ticket bought from Clarkson’s Major Luck Lottery Centre.
