Wednesday turned into a life-changing day for two fortunate Lotto players, who each became instant millionaires after a successful draw.
Midweek Millionaires Made
Two ticketholders have each secured a $1 million division one prize from Wednesday's Millionaire Medley game. While the newly minted millionaires hail from outside Western Australia, the draw proved lucrative for several West Aussies as well.
The winning entry marks another major payout in what's been a remarkable period for Australian lottery players, coming just after a Mandurah couple claimed a massive $50 million Powerball jackpot.
Prize Pool Distribution
Beyond the two division one winners, two Western Australian players from the Sangrove area won division two prizes worth $11,153 each. The good fortune spread even wider with 135 additional ticketholders scoring division three wins of $639.35 each, including 27 residents from WA.
The winning numbers for draw #4627 were 43, 26, 35, 25, 42 and 13, with supplementary numbers 24 and 5 completing the combination that created the latest Australian millionaires.
Recent Lottery Success Stories
This million-dollar win follows closely on the heels of the recent $50 million Powerball victory by a Mandurah couple, who purchased their winning $28.20 ticket through Lotterywest's Play Online portal.
The Mandurah winners expressed their excitement about future plans, with one stating, "I've always dreamed of being a stay-at-home dad and I can't wait to make that a reality." They emphasized that while their daily routine wouldn't change immediately, they looked forward to spending more quality time with their family.
These consecutive major wins demonstrate that fortune can strike any day of the week, turning an ordinary Wednesday into an extraordinary one for lucky participants across the country.
