Bassendean retiree scoops whopping $6.39 million Lotto jackpot, plans to buy first home and donate to charity
A Perth retiree is looking forward to buying her first home and giving back to a charity that once helped her after winning a staggering $6.39 million Saturday Lotto prize.
The Bassendean woman in her late 70s wasted no time in claiming her prize, arriving at the Lotterywest Winners Room as soon as HQ opened on Monday morning after verifying her winning ticket the night before.
“I always play Saturday Lotto and check my numbers the next day in The Sunday Times,” she said.
“I checked and checked again because I thought there must be something funny going on with my eyes, but I definitely had six numbers.”
After sharing the happy news with her sister and niece, she then went to Galleria Lottery Centre, where she’d bought the lucky ticket.
“I’ve been buying my lottery tickets from Raymond for years,” she continued.
