A Perth lottery store has just racked up its thirteenth Division One jackpot win.

An anonymous woman and her husband from Parmelia in Western Australia took home a third share amounting to AU$1.3M (US$895,000) of the AU$4 million jackpot.

Pete Andersson, the owner of Kwinana Hub Lottery Centre and News, said that he felt an enormous sense of pride and happiness after selling the winning ticket.

He said: “We always want to see our locals have a win, and we’ve been here for 19 years and this is now our 13th Division One prize.”

The Kwinana Hub town centre where the $1.3 million Division One prize ticket was sold on Saturday.

The woman prizewinner originally started a rumour she had won as a joke.

“I heard someone in Kwinana had won, so I went around telling everyone it was me,” said the woman.

“Eventually I checked the ticket, however I actually missed the line with the winning numbers. My son was looking over my shoulder and said ‘Mum, look, they are the numbers’. I guess the joke was on me in the end.”
