Triumphant West Aussie trio win slice of massive Lotto draw

West Aussies will be rushing to check their slips after a trio of punters hit the jackpot in Saturday’s Lotto draw.

It was a fruitful draw all round, with a total of nine division one winners who will each take home $741,935.70.

While eight WA punters were among the 52 division two winners who fell short of hitting a supplementary number, the players will still pocket $12,282.50 each.

A further 190 local players will have their spirits lifted this weekend with a handy $1012.40 division three win.

The winning numbers from draw #4643 were 38, 8, 35, 19, 44, 9, and the supplementary numbers were 23 and 33.

The luck comes following a gigantic $10m Powerball windfall for a Pilbara grandfather earlier this month.

Initially, the winner thought he had pocketed $5 million — and was content enough — when checking his ticket while making dinner for him and his long-time partner.

“Dinner went cold and never got eaten — we were too busy celebrating,” the man said.

“At first I thought I’d won $5 million, which was incredible.

“The next day Lotterywest called and told me it was $10 million. I was dumbfounded.

“The cold dinner was still sitting there on the stove.”
