A Perth woman has won A$200,000 on a scratch card, her second major lottery prize in eight years.

A Perth woman has won A$200,000 on a Scratch'N'Win ticket bought from a Midland newsagency, her second major lottery prize in eight years. Her son had bought a scratch card from the same shop, and she decided to purchase one so they could scratch them together as a bonding moment. When she scratched her ticket, she discovered the A$200,000 prize.

The retiree previously won a division one Oz Lotto jackpot of A$10 million in 2018, which allowed her to buy a home and retire. She said she was stunned by the second win: 'I thought I must be seeing things, I kept looking at the ticket because I thought I'd added an extra zero in my head.'

Rather than making immediate purchases, she said she intends to use the money for family investments. 'We don't need to rush out and buy anything but this gives us a chance to help our family and learn a bit more about investing for the future,' she said. A Lotterywest spokesperson described it as heartwarming that both jackpots came from the same newsagency.
