The struggling farming family from Serpentine-Jarrahdale soon learnt their luck had turned after it was confirmed the couple, who have been playing Lotto for 40 years together, had won the entire division one $2 million prize.Â

"No one wants to admit things are tough, and farmers are some of the proudest people in Australia," the husband said.Â
"This money means we can cancel the [$300,000] loan [we were in the midst of securing]Â and support the family farm ourselves."
The ticket, which was sold at newsXpress Armadale Central, was worth just over $2 million. Â Â
Manager Emma Dean said the store was no stranger to Lotto luck having rewritten WA's Lotto history books in 2015.
"It's been less than two years since we sold a Powerball ticket worth an incredible $50 million," he said.Â
"It remains the biggest single Division 1 prize in the State's history."
