A regional WA couple are planning a move to the coast \u2014 and a good old Aussie steak \u2014 after winning a life-changing $1.13 million Saturday Lotto jackpot.<\/p>\n
The couple, who have played Lotto for about 30 years, said they had a feeling their luck was about to change before buying their winning ticket.<\/p>\n
\u201cI said to my husband before he left for work, \u2018I reckon we\u2019ll win Lotto today\u2019,\u201d the winner said.<\/p>\n
The couple won the division one prize in the August 15 Saturday draw with a System 5 ticket bought from Paraburdoo Lotteries and News.<\/p>\n
They said they always played a System 5 ticket, regardless of which Lotto draw they entered.<\/p>\n
Their first plans are to find a new home near the beach.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can finally call somewhere home and can buy ourselves a place near the coast,\u201d the winner said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut first up we\u2019ll head out to get a good old Aussie steak to celebrate.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lotterywest spokeswoman Hermione Stott said System tickets covered multiple number combinations, meaning winning entries would usually collect multiple prizes.<\/p>\n
\u201cSaturday Lotto is played by selecting six numbers,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy choosing a System ticket, this allows you to choose fewer or more numbers than are drawn, generating every possible combination for your chosen numbers from a single ticket.\u201d<\/p>\n
The win is the eighth Saturday Lotto division one win recorded in regional WA for 2026.<\/p>\n
The lucky Paraburdoo win comes as another major prize is up for grabs, with this weekend\u2019s Saturday Lotto Superdraw offering a $20 million jackpot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A regional WA couple are planning a move to the coast \u2014 and a good old Aussie steak…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":87868,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[227,13284,335,464],"class_list":["post-87867","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-perth","tag-lifestyle","tag-lotto","tag-perth","tag-wa-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87867","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=87867"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87867\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/87868"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87867"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=87867"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=87867"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
