Lotto: Six ticketholders hit the jackpot with $3.3m wins in Saturday's draw
The fortunate players managed to match the six winning numbers needed to secure the jackpot, earning them a cool $3.3m each.
Division two dished out more than $11,000 to 103 players across the nation —including 17 West Aussies.
An additional 1,748 Aussies will be celebrating a handy cash boost of $992.20.
The winning numbers for draw #4571 are 1, 35, 18, 25, 45 and 38. The supplementary numbers are 4 and 16.
Although there were no division one winners from the west, the draw has raised more than $3 million to support the WA community.
Lotterywest spokesperson Sarah Dawson said: 'Since the start of the year, Saturday Lotto ticket sales have raised more than $38 million for Lotterywest's grants program.
'If you had a ticket in tonight's draw you are supporting hundreds of community organisations across WA who are doing fantastic things for Western Australians.'
Saturday's luck comes after a man from New South Wales was the only player to win the $30 million Powerball jackpot on Thursday.
The man from Cessnock bought the golden ticket from Shell Aberdare Newsagency on Aberdare Road, netting him the life-changing prize.
An official from
The Lott
delivered the news shortly after the draw, catching the winner completely off guard.
'Holy sh..t!' he exclaimed, overwhelmed by the moment.
'Bless you, man! Bless you!' he laughed, before erupting into disbelief.
'I just had this ticket on the fridge. I was looking at it this afternoon and thought, 'wouldn't it be lovely to win'. The ticket was there with all the bills. There will be no more worrying about bills now. I don't care if I get a bill now!'

Aussies forced to dip into savings amid $17.7 billion mortgage hit
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here Australians have been forced to dip into their savings accounts as mortgage rates hit new highs, Canstar data shows. It comes as the amount of money lent to borrowers in mortgages rose to a new high, increasing by $17.7 billion in June on the back of two interest rate cuts. "The residential mortgage market went into overdrive in June, fuelled by the two cash rate cuts in February and May," Sally Tindall from Canstar said. Aussies have a little bit less in their savings accounts. (Australian Financial Review) "This surge in residential mortgages across the banks mirrors the continued rise in property prices." As a result, figures from June indicate household deposits – the amount Australians have saved in the bank – dropped 0.74 per cent in the month, the first fall in 12 months, and the largest in more than two years. Despite this, Tindall said the phenomenon is common for this time of year as consumers spend more. "Household savings took a hit in June as people tucked into their savings in order to pay for end-of-financial-year costs," she said. "However, we expect this dip to be temporary, despite the cost-of-living crunch, as Australians remain steadfast in building up their war chests." Data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics earlier this week showed inflation had reached its lowest levels since the pandemic, meaning another rate cut is all but certain to be confirmed when the Reserve Bank meets next on August 12. national Australia finance money Mortgages Inflation Cost of Living CONTACT US Auto news: BYD speaks out about their ongoing battle with Tesla.
