The win comes just one day after a West Australian became a millionaire overnight.
Australia’s only division one-winning ticket in Wednesday night’s draw was bought from Heights Lottery Centre and News in Alexander Heights.
Lotterywest spokesperson James Mooney said it was WA’s tenth division one win for the year.
“These ten division one prizes are now worth a collective $10 million,” he said.
“This is also the second major win for a ticket sold in the City of Wanneroo in as many weeks, so if you bought a ticket in Perth’s north, you better check it.
“The special thing about Lotterywest is along with our prize winners, all available profits return to the WA community in the form of grants.
“This includes a recent $99,000 grant to Uni Camp for Kids that’s supporting two camps for disadvantaged and at-risk children from the Wanneroo area.”
