One West Aussie is becoming a whole lot richer after landing a whopping $2.1 million in Saturday Lotto.<\/p>\n
The Sandgroper was one of three Australians to split the division one prize, pocketing an eye-watering $2,110,193.37.<\/p>\n
The winning numbers were 27, 45, 33, 25, 17, 23 and the supplementary numbers were 26 and 43.<\/p>\n
Fourteen other West Aussies also struck it lucky in division two, each walking away with a handy $12,160.70.<\/p>\n
And there was more cash splashed around in division three, with 176 WA winners each pocketing $958.75.<\/p>\n
The latest windfall comes just days after a WA construction worker who scored a near-$650,000 Lotto windfall revealed plans to split the prize with his best mate and treat their wives to a lavish Italian dinner.<\/p>\n
The winner, who usually picks up his weekly ticket from a retailer in Mundaring, was forced to break with tradition after his wife asked him to make a special trip to the butcher.<\/p>\n
That detour led him to buy his winning ticket elsewhere, with a very tasty result.<\/p>\n
The mates have been sharing Lotto tickets for seven years and said they were both \u201cgobsmacked\u201d when they discovered their big win.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy best friend and I each buy a Slikpik 18 and send photos of our tickets to each other every week, so we\u2019ll be splitting the prize down the middle.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One West Aussie is becoming a whole lot richer after landing a whopping $2.1 million in Saturday Lotto.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":82844,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[227,13284,335],"class_list":["post-82843","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-perth","tag-lifestyle","tag-lotto","tag-perth"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82843","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=82843"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82843\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/82844"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=82843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=82843"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=82843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
