Lotto: West Aussie among four division one winners to take home $1.6 million in Saturday's draw
A West Aussie ticketholder has banked a tidy division one win in Saturday's Lotto draw. The fortunate punter is one of four players who will take home more than $1.6 million after matching six winnings numbers. Division two dished out a cash boost worth $13,577.95 to 46 players — including 11 West Aussies. An additional 984 ticketholders from across the nation will pocket a handy sum to the value of $960.85. The winning numbers for draw #4585 were 39, 41, 44, 32, 21 and 34. The supps were 22 and 16. Weekend luck comes after a pair of West Aussies scored a share in last Saturday's $20 million draw. The two players from the west were among nine division one winners to score an eye-watering $2.2m each. Two tickets sold in WA also won big in the Millionaire Medley game on Friday June 20. A FIFO worker from the eastern suburbs was revealed as one of the winners after he came forward to collect his $1m prize. The other lucky duck, a man from north of the river, hit the jackpot after a last-minute decision to ditch his usual numbers to instead purchase a Slikpik ticket.

Lotto: A Perth man's spur of the moment Slikpik purchase has won him $1 million
Beginner's luck has paid off big time for one Perth local, who 'couldn't believe' he claimed a division one win on his first ever Slikpik. The north of the river man – who purchased the ticket from Flinders Square Lucky Lotto in Yokine – usually played the lotto with his favourite numbers, but this time made the last-minute decision not to. 'For no reason at all, I thought I'd get a Slikpik for the first time,' he said. That decision proved to be the right one, with the semi-retired man scoring a $1 million Millionaire Medley win. 'When the machine said I was a winner, I showed the owner and he discreetly pointed to the 'Division One win sold here' sign with a smile on his face,' he said. The man has said he will use his winnings to fully retire, enjoy more time on the golf course, and help out his family. A FIFO (fly-in, fly-out) worker from Perth's eastern suburbs also won a $1 million prize in the same Millionaire Medley draw. The winning numbers that changed the pair's life were 4, 5, 13, 19, 26, 37 and the supps were 9, 17. Lotterywest spokesperson Zoe Wender said WA celebrated a total of five division one wins last weekend, taking this year's tally to 40 winners who have shared more than $75 million in prizes. 'It's wonderful meeting these winners and hearing how their lives will change for the better,' she said Tickets are available for tonight's $12 million Powerball jackpot until 6pm today in-store, online and via the Lotterywest app.

Aussies in rush for Oz Lotto tickets as jackpot hits $70m
A ticket in this week's Oz Lotto draw could mean a $70 million jackpot win, and your life changed forever. It is the second-biggest prize offered by any lottery game in the country this year, and the fourth largest in the history of Oz Lotto. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: Oz Lotto jackpot hits $70m. A similar jackpot was won earlier this year by a 15-share syndicate in Queensland, with each taking home a $4.7 million slice. 'We're expecting one in five Australian adults to have an entry into this jackpot draw,' Oz Lotto said. 'To beat the rush, we recommend securing your ticket as soon as possible at any licensed lottery outlet, online, or via The Lott mobile app. 'Time will tell if any winning Aussies will be receiving a multimillion-dollar call from us, or if the jackpot continues to climb.' Entries close at 7.30pm AEST on Tuesday. The draw will happen live on Channel 7 about 8.30pm AEST. 'We'll be eagerly watching the draw live ... ready to make any potential winning calls,' Oz Lotto said. A NSW father going through a 'rough trot' won a $30 million jackpot prize through Powerball last month. He purchased the ticket from a newsagency in Aberdare, a town about 45 minutes west of Newcastle, and it had been pinned to his fridge until he got the life-changing call about his win. His response? 'Holy s***! Bless you, man! Bless you!' '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.' The winner said he already had some ideas about how he planned to spend his newfound fortune. 'For a start, I'll look at buying a new house and looking after the family,' he said. 'Then, I'll take it from there.' Meanwhile, a Perth woman last month revealed she'd dodged calls from Lotterywest, thinking they were calls from a charity. The 59-year-old woman won a $2.3 million prize and celebrated with a $7 bottle of champagne and a trip to Bali. 'I go in (a syndicate) every week with my cousin, we have a small system, so it costs us $5 a week,' the woman said. 'We've been doing it for 20 years, we definitely haven't broken even. 'I saw there was a $30 million super draw so I thought I'll get a Slikpik (by myself) and then we went away for Christmas. 'We went up to Lancelin with a whole lot of family and I kept getting these missed calls, and I thought 'bloody Greenpeace', because I signed a petition and they ring you up and follow up.' It wasn't until she returned home and checked her emails that she realised the reason for the calls. 'I saw something from Lotterywest and it said you need to contact us about a prize,' said. Despite being offered financial advice by Lotterywest, the woman had already mapped out a plan for the cash. The couple bought their sister out of their shared investment property and loaded up their superannuation before turning their attention to their four children. The woman generously gifted her children a wad of cash, with some conditions attached. 'They got $100,000 for a mortgage, and they got $20,000 fun money,' she said. The couple have been enjoying the money after the win, remodelling the kitchen on their home, splashing on a 'dream car' 300 series LandCruiser and going on surfing trips to Bali. 'It hasn't changed my life hugely, it's just made a better balance of everything,' the woman said. 'We've still got the same friends, we still do the same stuff, it's not like we're all driving flash cars or fine dining.'
