One lucky Sandgroper will be taking home a massive slice of Saturday\u2019s $30 million Megadraw.<\/p>\n
The fortunate punter is among seven division one winners who will each walk away with more than $4.2 million after matching six winning numbers.<\/p>\n
Lotterywest has revealed the winning ticket from WA was sold at The Lucky Charm Harrisdale, with the other winners hailing from Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.<\/p>\n
They truly were lucky, with the odds of winning division one in Saturday\u2019s game 8,145,060 to 1, according to Lotterywest.<\/p>\n
Up to a third of Aussie adults were expected to take a chance in Saturday\u2019s draw and it paid off for many players across the board.<\/p>\n
Luck rained down on another 118 players \u2014 including 21 West Aussies \u2014 who scored $11,463.35 with division two wins.<\/p>\n
A handy cash boost of $937.15 will be making its way to the pockets of 2,185 division three winners across the country.<\/p>\n
The winning numbers for draw #4593 were 17, 23, 40, 42, 44 and 2. The supps were 27 and 39.<\/p>\n
Lotterywest spokesperson Zoe Wender urged players to check their slips after a previous Megadraw winner unknowingly carried around their winning ticket for a week.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat winner won $3.3 million so you could say she was lugging around WA\u2019s most expensive handbag,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s fantastic to be celebrating a Division One winner in WA tonight and we can\u2019t wait to meet them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Saturday luck comes after one ticketholder from Queensland scooped Thursday\u2019s $30 million Powerball jackpot.<\/p>\n
When the retiree was contacted by an official from The Lott on Friday morning he had not even checked his tickets and was understandably stunned \u2014 given the biggest prize he\u2019d ever previously won was an Easter basket.<\/p>\n
\u201cHoly sh**! Wow. Unbelievable!\u201d he told them.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, my goodness. Words can\u2019t explain how I\u2019m feeling right now.
