WA Lotto players strike it rich with division one wins
By Troy de Ruyter
We’re already into February but let’s celebrate January, at least from a Lotto perspective, with nine West Aussies sharing more than $20 million in winnings.
Among them was a Mt Pleasant couple who became millionaires after their Saturday ticket, bought from Garden City Lottery Centre in Booragoon, scooped $1.6 million.
“I couldn’t believe it when they told me I won division one,” she said. “It wasn’t until we came to Lotterywest to claim the prize that it started to sink in that we had won $1.6 million. This is life-changing and means we can purchase our first home.”
