The lucky northern suburbs woman had reason to be excited, taking home the Division One prize worth more than $653,000.
Seven fortunate ticketholders successfully matched all six winning numbers in the recent $30 million Lotto Megadraw held on Saturday, March 16, 2024. Each winner will receive over $4.2 million, marking a significant financial windfall for those lucky enough to have their numbers drawn.
The odds of winning the top prize in this draw were notably steep, at approximately 1 in 8,145,060, according to Lotterywest. Despite these daunting statistics, a substantial number of players participated, with estimates suggesting that up to a third of Australian adults entered the draw.
Additional Winners and Prizes
Not only did the seven jackpot winners celebrate their good fortune, but another 118 players also enjoyed victories, each receiving $11,463.35 for matching some of the winning numbers in division two. Additionally, 2,185 division three winners will see a cash boost of $937.15 each.
The winning numbers for draw #4593 were 17, 23, 40, 42, 44, and 2, with supplementary numbers being 27 and 39.
The excitement surrounding this draw comes on the heels of another major win, as a single ticketholder from Queensland recently claimed a $30 million Powerball jackpot. This retiree expressed disbelief upon being informed of the win, having not checked his tickets prior to the call. His reaction was one of pure astonishment: “Holy sh**! Wow. Unbelievable!” he exclaimed, reflecting the shock and joy that accompanies such life-changing news.
As the winners prepare to claim their prizes, the Lotto Megadraw serves as a reminder of the thrill of chance and the potential for life-altering rewards in the world of lottery games.
