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.

But her luck didn't stop there.

In the gift that keeps on giving her ticket also scored two Division 2 wins, and 36 Division 3's securing her a total of $15.2 million dollars.

"I'm set for life," she said.

The woman said she had always dreamed of winning the lotto, but never believed it would actually happen.

"This means I can finally get out of my shoebox of a rental and buy my first home," she said.

"I'd also like to travel, business class maybe."

She also wants to help out her family and friends, and plans to invest most of the money.

The winning ticket was sold from Callows Corner Lottery Centre in Busselton, and is the second $15 million win for WA in just over a month.

Lotterywest Spokeswoman Pina Compagnone said just three months into the year and the state had 20 Division 1 winners.

"That equates to almost seven a month," She said.

Ms Compagnone said the money spent in the lottery went towards improved services for people living with disability and mental illness in the South West.

"Thanks to our players and retailers last year we were able to support Bunbury's Enable WA to the tune of $311,000," she said.
