Saturday lotto: West Aussie scores $500,000 win

A West Aussie lotto player’s cost of living pressures have been eased significantly after a major win over the weekend.

Saturday’s $5 million division one prize pool was split 10 ways, with a winning ticket secured from Padbury News in Perth’s north worth $500,000.

The windfall took the State’s tally of division one winners this year to 42.

“WA continues its strong run of winners in 2022, with this win bringing the total prize pool to over $132 million,” spokesperson Alana Christian said.

“Along with our one division one winner on Saturday night, WA was also home to eight division two prizes worth more than $9,500.”

Meanwhile a Super 66 player in WA won more than $74,000.

This week’s Oz Lotto prize pool sits at $5 million.
