Division two also proved lucrative for punters, with a whopping 47 Aussies pocketing a trim $11,605.45 each.

Another 54 division three winners across the country each claimed $12,492.35.

Speaking of the WA win, Lotterywest spokesperson Zoe Wender says the division one win was “fantastic” given it was drawn so early in the year, compared to last year’s four wins.
