Western Australia's 'Luckiest Shop' Strikes Rich with 6th Division-One Lotto Win

In an extraordinary display of luck, Boulder Newsagency and Lotto in Western Australia, often dubbed the "luckiest shop in the state," has achieved its sixth division-one winning ticket in just 18 months. This latest winning ticket, worth a substantial $1 million, emerged during Monday night's Lotto draw, solidifying the store's exceptional winning streak.

The remarkable journey of this fortunate newsagency began in May last year when they sold a $1 million division-one winning ticket to a local resident. Since then, their fortunate streak has continued, with a winning division-one ticket worth $1.43 million in a Saturday night draw in September 2022. They also secured a portion of a massive $53 million Powerball jackpot win in October, which was shared by a syndicate of 19 Kalgoorlie-Boulder mine workers. In November, the store produced an $890,000 ticket, followed by another division-one win worth $1 million in February.

Boulder Newsagency and Lotto's remarkable success story has been characterized by their numerous division-one wins, a testament to their "luckiest shop in Western Australia" status. With the recent addition of the $1 million prize, the store's reputation for producing winners remains unquestionable.

In the context of Western Australia's broader lottery scene, this year has been particularly rewarding for the region. The Boulder Newsagency and Lotto's Monday night win brought the state's tally of winners to 72 in 2023, with a total of almost $200 million distributed among them.

What's even more significant is that since July, an estimated $92 million generated from lottery ticket sales will contribute to Lotterywest grants, supporting various communities across Western Australia. These grants provide funding for numerous initiatives, including the recent support of Telethon's Family Festival with a $150,000 grant, bringing families together for a day filled with fun activities, roving performers, face painting, and carnival rides. This ongoing support underscores the positive impact that lottery players have on communities across the state.

Boulder Newsagency and Lotto's incredible winning streak is a testament to the unpredictable nature of the lottery and serves as a source of inspiration and hope for players who dare to dream big.
