A West Australian winner took out OZ Lotto’s entire $20m prize on Tuesday evening, with their entry being the only Division One winner across the country.

This marks WA’s second Division One winner this year, with the preceding lucky ticket holder taking home the entire $30m jackpot in April.

Tuesday’s draw also produced another 46,000 WA winners across other Divisions, with a winning Division Two ticket sold in Albany leading to winnings of $32,400.

“WA players have enjoyed a string of wins, with 51 Division One winners this year who have shared in more than $163 million,” a Lotterywest spokesperson said.

Lotterywest is the only government owned and operated lottery in the country, with funds going to support community initiatives across West Australia.

“The WA community has also been a winner following tonight’s draw, with almost $2.7m raised thanks to players over the four-week jackpot roll which will contribute to our grants program,” the spokesperson said.

Tuesday’s winning numbers were 26, 46, 35, 42, 28, 9 and 4.
