Lotto: Two WA players become instant millionaires thanks to timely Christmas gift after wins on Friday and Saturday

Not one but two Christmas miracles blessed WA this weekend, with two Lotto players becoming instant millionaires.

The first Division 1 winner was crowned Friday night when a Millionaire Medley ticket sold at the Fieldgate News & General Store in Balga won a $1 million prize.

With luck snowballing into Saturday night, one player who purchased their winning ticket from Palmyra Supa News pocketed a very handy $1,350,452.

A total of nine WA Lotto players won Division 2 prizes in Saturday’s draw, with each claiming tickets worth $12,000.

This fortune-filled weekend brings our state’s total number of Division 1 winners to 65, with a prize pool of more than $126 million in winnings shared between them.

Lotterywest spokeswoman Zoe Wender suggested WA’s new millionaires must be delighted with the timing.

“It’s never a bad time to win a Division 1 prize, but the fact that it’s happening the weekend before Christmas makes it even more special,” Ms Wender said.
