A Rockingham couple are celebrating a division one Lotto win worth $1.24 million.
The couple, in their late 70s, were passing through Collie when they decided to buy a Saturday Lotto System 7 ticket from Reuben’s News.
“We stopped on our drive looking for a hot chook,” they said.
“We couldn’t find any, so we headed to Reuben’s News to buy a Lotto ticket instead.”
Although they had to change their dinner plans, the ticket matched the numbers to a Division One prize.
“We’ve told our children and family. It’s great news and we are so excited," they said.
“It will change our lives. We’re going to have lunch to celebrate.”
The couple plan to use their winnings to buy a caravan, and travel both in Australia and overseas as much as they can.
