Multiple Australian lottery winners have secured significant windfalls through recent Saturday Lotto draws. Six participants won $1,086,418 each, while 59 others collected division two prizes.
In Western Australia, a division one win was recorded in the Pilbara town of Paraburdoo. This marks the first division one win in the Pilbara region for 2026 and the eighth such win in regional Western Australia this year. Additionally, a ticket sold at Willetton Newsagency won a division two Set for Life prize, providing the winner with $5,000 monthly for one year.
In another notable win, a 79-year-old retiree from Ellenbrook, Western Australia, claimed a $1 million Lotto prize, marking his second such win since 2023.
