Wednesday evening’s lotto draw saw one Aussie win big and become an instant millionaire.

The Millionaire Medley draw produced one player who won the coveted $1million and, unfortunately for West Aussie ticket holders, they weren’t from WA.

The winning numbers for draw #4588 were 2, 26, 4, 20, 14, 9 and the supplementary numbers were 39 and 36.

In division two, a couple of West Aussie’s snagged a handy $5,001.25, while 26 won a less impressive $353.30 in division three.

The last lotto win for a West Aussie was when one player from the State had their life changed after winning a share of Saturday’s $6m Lotto jackpot, and they might not know it yet.

It has been revealed the division one winning ticket was a $1.6m win from Saturday’s jackpot, sold at The Lucky Charm in Gwelup.

Lotterywest spokesperson Zoe Wender said Saturday’s winner is not a registered Lotterywest member, so there was every chance they weren’t aware of the life-altering win.

“When a registered ticket matches the numbers to a division one prize, the player receives a phone call first thing the next business day to share the good news about their win,” she said.

“We once called a player who was in the car with their whole family, including the family dog. When they found out they had won, the whole family started screaming in excitement, with even the dog joining in.

“Thankfully the owner of the ticket was in the passenger seat and able to catch their breath while the driver turned the car around and came straight to Lotterywest HQ to claim the prize.”
