West Australian claims $15 million Lotto win

Date: February 7 2017

Life will probably never be the same for one West Australian after winning $15 million in Tuesday's Oz Lotto draw.

The  Division One prize pool of $30 million was split between two winning tickets, each of which will receive $15 million.

The ticket leading to the $15 million bounty was sold  at the Archer Street Newsagency in Carlisle.

Three other West Australians will walk away with more than $38,000 after winning Division Two prizes.

West Australians have experienced a spate of Lotto luck since the beginning of the year.

On Saturday an ex-serviceman from the Perth Hills has became a Lotto millionaire on the back of a ticket his mother bought him as a gift to start a new career.

The win comes after an Australind father and son accidentally won $1 million in Monday's Lotto draw after they purchased a ticket mistakenly believing it was for Saturday's game.
