The men said they felt shock and disbelief when one syndicate member called to let them know the good news.
“The news certainly helped us to celebrate a little bit harder,” one member said.
“I asked him over the phone if he was sure and he said he was shaking.
“I ended up checking the ticket around four times myself.”
The prize is set to go towards paying off bills, a new boat, and an array of holiday plans, with one member declaring he’ll be upgrading his planned trip to Europe.
There was two Western Australian first prize Set for Life tickets produced on Sunday.
Lotterywest HQ is waiting to meet the winners, who will both take home $20,000 a month for the next 20 years.
