Lotto: Six ticketholders hit the jackpot with $3.3m wins in Saturday's draw
Six Aussies have become instant millionaires after bagging division one wins in Saturday Lotto's $20 million draw. The fortunate players managed to match the six winning numbers needed to secure the jackpot, earning them a cool $3.3m each. Division two dished out more than $11,000 to 103 players across the nation —including 17 West Aussies. An additional 1,748 Aussies will be celebrating a handy cash boost of $992.20. The winning numbers for draw #4571 are 1, 35, 18, 25, 45 and 38. The supplementary numbers are 4 and 16. Although there were no division one winners from the west, the draw has raised more than $3 million to support the WA community. Lotterywest spokesperson Sarah Dawson said: 'Since the start of the year, Saturday Lotto ticket sales have raised more than $38 million for Lotterywest's grants program. 'If you had a ticket in tonight's draw you are supporting hundreds of community organisations across WA who are doing fantastic things for Western Australians.' Saturday's luck comes after a man from New South Wales was the only player to win the $30 million Powerball jackpot on Thursday. The man from Cessnock bought the golden ticket from Shell Aberdare Newsagency on Aberdare Road, netting him the life-changing prize. An official from The Lott delivered the news shortly after the draw, catching the winner completely off guard. 'Holy sh..t!' he exclaimed, overwhelmed by the moment. 'Bless you, man! Bless you!' he laughed, before erupting into disbelief. 'I just had this ticket on the fridge. I was looking at it this afternoon and thought, 'wouldn't it be lovely to win'. The ticket was there with all the bills. There will be no more worrying about bills now. I don't care if I get a bill now!'
