Lotto Win for Homeless Couple

One of the more rewarding Lotto stories this week was that of a young Rockingham couple who won $1 million in a Lotto draw.

Don't miss...

The couple, in their 20s and parents to four young children, had been living in temporary accommodation and trying to find a solution to their housing problem.

On a whim, they purchased a lottery ticket - for the first time ever - and were stunned to learn that they had won one of the top prizes.

Their windfall was one of two Lotto tickets which won top prize in that particular draw. While the couple thought initially that they would share the prize with other winners, they soon learned that new lottery rules implemented only recently guaranteed a $1 million win for up to two players each time.

The couple said that they were now relieved that their housing problems were over and that their children's futures were secure.

"We can now buy our first home and make sure our children are looked after," they said. "Never in our life time did we think we would ever call ourselves millionaires, it's just crazy!"
