Lucky WA Punter Wins Life-Changing $20,000 Monthly Lottery Prize
A fortunate Western Australian lottery player has secured a financial future that will provide $20,000 every month for the next 20 years, thanks to a winning Set for Life ticket. The Division One prize, which is the sole top winner across the nation, was purchased at the Margaret River Newsagency located in the South West region of WA.
Staggering $4.8 Million Total Windfall Over Two Decades
This incredible win amounts to a total of $4.8 million over the full 20-year period, offering the anonymous ticketholder a consistent and transformative income stream that could radically alter their lifestyle and long-term plans.

Excitement Builds Among Staff and Community
Josh Praed, the owner of Margaret River Newsagency, expressed his enthusiasm about the latest win, noting that staff members are thrilled and eagerly anticipating the discovery of who sold the lucky ticket. "I had a feeling when we sold the last one that we might sell another soon — and it happened," Praed said. "It's great news. Customers get very excited and the staff are keen to see who sold the winning ticket." Lotterywest spokeswoman Zoe Wender highlighted that the winner could be anyone, especially with Margaret River bustling during the school holidays, adding that this prize opens up endless possibilities for the recipient.
