West Australians are eagerly checking their Lotto tickets after three winners each claimed approximately $650,000 from the Saturday Lotto draw. These three individuals were part of a total of ten national winners who shared the division one prize of $649,601.50 each. The night was also favorable for division two, with 12 players from WA winning $6,922.60 each, while 295 players received $518.75 from division three. The winning numbers were 9, 11, 2, 1, 13, and 20, with supplementary numbers being 28 and 45. This winning streak follows a recent incident where a Perth woman in her 70s won $125,000 from a scratch-off ticket purchased just before her hair appointment, leading her to discuss future plans for her winnings, including a holiday and gifts for her children.
