22 years later a couple finally wins the lottery in Australia

A couple from Western Australia are preparing for their retirement after taking home $1.9 million (AED6 m) from the state’s lotto pool.

The couple revealed they had considered changing their tried and true number selections for the first time in decades after failing to find success.

“We’ve been playing the same numbers for 22 years and we were thinking of retiring the numbers at the start of the year because we hadn’t had much success,” one of the winners said.

“We are so glad we didn’t.”

The win was not the only big windfall for a WA resident in recent weeks.

A man from Midland won $1 million (AED3 m) in the draw making him one of three winners nationally.
