Newsagent to sell colossal $1m jackpot ticket revealed
One fortunate West Aussie ticketholder hit the $1 million Lotto jackpot after purchasing a slip from Mangimup Newsagency.
It's not just the newfound millionaire who is celebrating the huge win. Owner Will Green was thrilled his newsagency was the store to have dished out the life altering windfall to the lucky player.
'I shared the news with staff last night and everyone is wondering if they sold the winning ticket,' he said.
'It would be wonderful if it was one of our locals who won the prize.'
While the ticketholder was the only player to snap up the mind-boggling jackpot sum, a pair of West Aussies took home more than $8,600 from division two.
The winning numbers for draw #4582 were 28, 20, 32, 31, 8 and 10. The supps were 23 and 22.
Lotterywest spokesperson Emma Rogers said the colossal windfall comes after a lucky run for players in the west.
'Last night's win brings our tally to 52 Western Australian division one winners so far in 2025,' she said.
'We can't wait for the winner to come forward and visit us in the Lotterywest Winners' Room soon.'
Players will get a shot at Thursday's $12 million Powerball jackpot, with tickets available for purchase in-store and online until 6pm.

Perth businessman donates $100m to WA university
Perth businessman Ted Powell has made an unprecedented donation of $100m to Murdoch University's veterinary school. The gift is the largest donation ever received by a West Australian university and one of the largest received by any Australian uni. 'You can't spend $100m when you're 74 years old. It's just not possible,' Mr Powell, who made his fortune founding Offshore Incorporations Limited, said on Thursday. 'I've given almost as much as I can, but you know, I'm not going to go hungry. 'I know my late wife, Dee, an animal lover and a most generous person, would also be immensely proud of this project.' Mr and Mrs Powell, who did not have children, established The Ragdoll Foundation, which has provided financial support to more than 140 Murdoch students who completed their degrees through a scholarship program. The $100m donation will be used to redevelop Murdoch's veterinary school with a 9600 sqm facility that will be large enough to increase the number of vet students who can be trained in WA by 50 per cent. Mr Powell said there were many good causes in the medical and educational fields and encouraged anyone who was financially well-off to consider giving to worthy causes.

Vice Chancellor Andrew Deeks said Mr Powell's extraordinary act of generosity would help ensure WA continued its role as a leading hub for animal research, teaching and training. 'Veterinary Medicine was one of 10 foundation courses offered by Murdoch when we opened 50 years ago and a commitment to the environment and conservation are part of the University's DNA,' the vice chancellor said. 'The discipline has advanced significantly over that time, as have the safety requirements for biological laboratories and animal facilities.' The new facility will allow the university to build on its conservation, animal care and welfare programs, as well as provide more cutting edge research. It will also provide better service for the agricultural and scientific community and broader WA community.

'On behalf of Murdoch University, I cannot thank Ted Powell enough for his generosity, support and foresight,' he said. 'He will leave a legacy for the Western Australian veterinary profession, animal research – and for animals great and small – which will resonate for generations to come.'
