A couple from the Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale resorted to several distractions during the long weekend as they anxiously waited to confirm their Millionaire Medley ticket was a Division One prize.
Although their online ticket displayed the winning numbers for Friday night’s draw, they couldn’t wait to visit Lotterywest HQ in person to confirm their ticket was valid.
The couple had to wait until after the long weekend when Lotterywest HQ reopened, which led to a long wait and second guessing their fortune.
“I would have checked the ticket more than 100 times,” the woman in her 40s said.
“Friday night was hard, we couldn’t sleep, I ended up cleaning the house just to distract myself.”
Fortunately, their worries were scrubbed away as their ticket matched the numbers to the $1 million prize.
Lotterywest spokesperson James Mooney said it is always nice to see worry turn into joy in the Lotterywest Winner’s Room.
“For many of our winners, they want to hear the confirmation they’ve won from our customer service team in the Winner’s Room before the reality of the win sinks in,” he said.
“Thanks to this $1 million prize, these winners can take their weekends back and hopefully spend less time cleaning.”
