A family from Gosnells inWestern Australia have kicked off their new year in the best possible way – with an extra Au$1 million in the bank.
The household won the generous payout playing the Australia Wednesday Lotto draw last week (January 25th).
Excited about their sudden windfall, the proud lottery fans have said they can hardly believe they can now call themselves millionaires and are hoping to pay off the house with their cash.
Furthermore, the family is planning to put some of the money aside for their children’s futures and intend to throw a big party to share their good fortune with their relatives and loved ones.
Andy O’Leary, who owns the West Gosnells Newsagency that sold the winning lottery ticket, said the local area had been buzzing due to the fact their neighbours had struck lucky playing Australia Wednesday Lotto.
“We have just made someone a millionaire and that’s the best feeling in the world,” he said.
And the Australian lotto has also made another household Au$1 million richer at the beginning of 2012, as a couple from Pannawonica – which is also in Western Australia – only recently collected their seven-figure prize after striking lucky on the January 9th draw.
One of the pair said he and his other half only found out they were winners when word started to spread in town that a local store had sold a winning lottery ticket – and he then called his wife at home to check the numbers.
“We couldn’t sleep for the first few days after finding out the exciting news. This is just the icing on the cake for us,” the couple said.
They added that the first thing they would do with their cool million is pay off their mortgage and help their immediate family – and afterwards they want to just relax and set the rest aside for their retirement.
If these winners’ stories sound appealing to any Oz lotto fans out there then they could try their luck playing lotto online on theLotter tonight, as the Australia Wednesday Lotto’s $1 million jackpot is up for grabs once again.

European lotto draws are dominating theSmart category here at theLotter – which means those with a penchant for the continent’s lotteries could take home a cash prize if they are savvy about ticket prices and the payouts available.
How theSmart works is that it picks the draws with the best cost-to-benefit ratio, with this being calculated according to tax deductions, the odds and the jackpot total versus the price of the bet.
So people who know their games might be eager to enter Spain’s La Primitiva tomorrow (January 26th), as there is €4.8 million on offer.
Turkey’s Lotto 649 and Super Lotto 654 also feature, with the former offering a 1.2 million Turkish lira payout for jackpot winners at its next draw on Saturday (January 28th) and the latter seeing its top prize jump to 3.2 million Turkish lira in time for Thursday’s game.
The Poland Lotto – which has seen a triple rollover in the past week or so – promises an estimated jackpot of six million polish zloty tomorrow night, but if this top prize goes unclaimed again, fans can enter the next draws on Saturday and Tuesday until it is won.
And the Ireland Lotto is also boasting an attractive jackpot in its game scheduled for tonight (January 25th), as the lottery is offering the person who gets all six main numbers correct a payout of €5.5 million.
But despite this European domination of the Smart list, the US and Australia also featured highly on the table of the best games to play when both ticket price and prize sums are taken into account.
The Australian Saturday Lotto, Wednesday Lotto and Australia Powerball are all featured on the Smart list.
Fans interested in entering the Saturday Lotto this weekend can play for a possible Au$4 million jackpot, while the Wednesday Lotto next week has its top prize set for Au$1 million.
An incredible Au$20 million is up for grabs if players enter the Australia Powerball draw tonight, with this game ranking fourth on the list.
The Indiana Hoosier Lottery – which does not normally feature in theSmart category – is currently ranking third, as its jackpot for this evening’s draw is estimated to be a massive $31.3 million and finally, the Oregon Megabucks also features, with tonight’s game offering a top prize of $19.3 million.

The winner of AUD$38 million in lottery prize money has vowed to keep on working, despite her enormous wealth.
This week the woman – who is remaining nameless – told lotto officials that she is happy to carry on in her job as a healthcare professional.
Fans of lottery games such as the Australia Powerball may share the winner’s passion for her career, as the player stated: “I really love my work so I will keep on working.”
When quizzed on what she would be buying with her newfound riches, she said she would like to treat her loved ones to a comfortable lifestyle, adding that a holiday and a new house are on the cards.
“This win won’t just change my life, it will change the lives of all of my family,” she remarked.
The lottery winner did not realise her good fortune until lotto officials rang to tell her the news, but initially she thought their call may be a hoax, so checked her lottery ticket online to see if the numbers matched – and they did.
Winning a lotto draw and not realising it is a fear many people may have, but this can be avoided if they play lottery online at theLotter, as the site offers a service alerting players if they have won any prize money.
In addition to Jackpot Email Alerts and Lottery Results Email Alerts, lotto fans can also receive alerts via SMS message.

Lottery fans may know him as Hollywood’s Mr Nice and this week Hugh Jackman has certainly proved that under his A-list hero exterior he’s a truly generous and fun-loving guy.
Speaking at the press conference for his new film Real Steel in London’s exclusive Claridges Hotel, the Australia and X-Men star revealed he likes to buy the crew on his films lotto tickets.
He claimed his routine of getting a wad of 500 slips for his team first began when he was filming in the US and felt embarrassed that after two months he did not know anybody’s name.
“I thought that on a Friday afternoon I’ll whip by and buy lottery tickets for everyone and hand them out saying it’s an Australian tradition – but it’s not,” Jackman explained.
And it seems the lottery is something Mr Jackman may be a fan of, as he revealed in a recent interview with the Daily Telegraph that if he won the lotto he would not stop acting.

Despite being one of Australia’s most famous and successful horse trainers, Peter Moody is just like the rest of us and dreams of winning big playing his favourite lottery game – Oz Lotto.
Speaking to the Australian, the expert responsible for keeping the world’s greatest racehorse – the unbeaten Black Caviar – claimed he would say goodbye to his 3am starts if he won big and escape to a beach in north Queensland where he would eat prawns and drink beer.
“I’d like to win the lotto, buy a five per cent share in a racehorse and drive the trainer mad by ringing up every night to see how it’s going,” he joked.
Mr Moody said that these dreams are due to the fact his job means he sees very little of his family, but he admits that training horses is what he loves doing.
This confession may be a clue as to why he would not say goodbye to his beloved horses entirely should his lottery wish be granted.
The next Oz Lotto draw will take place on October 18th.
Last week, one lucky lottery fan went home with the coveted AUD 5 million prize.

Buying a ticket for the Australian Lotto this week could be a fantastic idea, as the jackpot for the next draw on May 14th is up to $21 million.
To play the game, which has been running since 1972, all you have to do is choose a set of six numbers from between one and 45.
There are no Mega balls, Powerballs or Lucky stars, so playing the Australian Lotto is certainly as easy as can be.
If you want to be in with as good a chance as possible, consider playing the numbers 5, 7, 8, 19, 20 or 25. According to the company, these are some of the most frequent winning digits.
What’s more, at least $9.7 million is paid out each week – 55 per cent of the entire lottery earnings.
People might also be tempted to play the Australian lottery after hearing about the Superdraw, which sees five per cent of the prize money kept in reserve and built up over time. These occur several times each year and the next draw happens to be on May 14th.
So have a go on the Australian lottery at TheLotter.
