What happens when you win lotto?

It's a dream for many but only a handful of lucky people will get to experience the process of what happens if you come across those winning numbers.

The overnight win is the seventh division one ticket sold in WA this month. Those seven winners have shared in almost $9 million in prize money. 

Of those seven winners, four have been in regional WA.

In addition to Australind the other three regional wins were in Mandurah, Geraldton and Serpentine.

Australind News and Post owner Stephen Lucas said with regional WA doing it tough, he hoped the lucky winner was from the south west.

"Unemployment rates have skyrocketed, the economy has been tough and lots of people are still recovering from the fires in Yarloop and Waroona," Mr Lucas said. 

"We all look out for one-another but it would be nice to know that we've helped change the life of a local."

Mr Lucas, who took over ownership of the store four months ago, said he hoped regional WA's run of Lotto luck would continue.

Tuesday's Oz Lotto draw is a whopping $20 million, followed by the $10 million Powerball jackpot on Thursday.
