Lotto: Three West Aussies among five division one winners on WA Day long weekend Saturday draw
WA Day is not the only cause for celebration this long weekend after three Lotto players from the west hit the jackpot.
The lucky trio are among five ticketholders who have banked more than $1.2 million thanks to the division one wins in Saturday's draw.
Good fortune continued into division two, with 47 players netting hauls worth more than $7,950.
Division three produced 1,491 winners who will each be enjoying a handy $597.40.
The winning numbers for draw #4577 were 5, 45, 23, 27, 7 and 9. The supplementary numbers were 36 and 13.
It comes after a Perth mum revealed to PerthNow how she spent her huge $2.3m payday after taking out a division one Lotto prize in January 2024.
'We toasted with this bottle of $7 champagne,' the woman said.
She generously gifted her children a wad of cash, with some conditions attached.
'They got $100,000 for a mortgage, and they got $20,000 fun money,' she said.
The couple have been enjoying the money after the win, remodelling the kitchen on their home, splashing on a 'dream car' 300 series LandCruiser and going away on surfing trips to Bali.

How a WA brewery became an icon with just $25k
In the 20 years since launching with salvaged equipment and a $25,000 credit card, Gage Roads Brewing Co. has surfed the ebbs and flows of the craft beer industry to become Australia's fourth-biggest beer group. 'Number cruncher' John Hoedemaker and his brother Bill, an award-winning brewer, started the business named after the stretch of water between Fremantle and Rottnest Island in the former Meadow Lea margarine factory in Palmyra. Rather than follow in the footsteps of pioneering Fremantle brewpubs Sail & Anchor or Little Creatures, Gage Roads opened the production facility well before its 'ultimate beach house' at Fremantle's Victoria Quay. Gage Roads is now part of Good Drinks Australia, also home to Matso's, Alby and other brands. The company delisted from the ASX in December 2024.

'We kind of broke all the rules,' the former head brewer said. We'd like to see a Gage Roads beer in every fridge in Australia. Gage Roads' Single Fin summer ale is currently the fifth biggest selling beer by volume in WA after Great Northern, Emu Export, Carlton Dry and Corona — all owned by Japanese giants Asahi and Kirin.

In addition to an epic Sunday session starring local musician Noah Dillon on the WA Day long weekend, Gage Roads will unveil new core range beer, Huey Coastal Lager, to celebrate its 20th birthday. The 3.8 per cent pure malt lager featuring the brewer's seagull mascot Huey harkens back to Gage Roads' first beer, Pure Malt Lager. Mr Hoedemaker was keen for Gage Roads, which was 25 per cent owned by Woolworths from 2009 to 2016, to become entrenched as the pre-eminent WA beer brand. 'It's important for a community to have their own brewery,' he said. Gage Roads will also continue to push into eastern states markets, especially Queensland, according to Mr Hoedemaker. 'We'd like to see a Gage Roads beer in every fridge in Australia,' he said.
