One South West lottery player has won a life-changing prize of $4.8 million after purchasing a Division One Set for Life ticket, which guarantees $20,000 monthly for the next 20 years. The winning ticket was sold at Dalyellup News and Lottery in the Shire of Capel and is the only winning ticket of its kind across Australia from the recent draw. This marks the second significant win in the region within a month, as another winning ticket was sold in Margaret River. The store owner, Rikhikumar Patoliya, expressed excitement over the sale, noting that he had a feeling a major win was imminent. Lotterywest has highlighted the South West as a promising area for lottery players following these consecutive wins.
Why It Matters
