Two lucky Aussies will ring in the New Year with a massive cash boost after they took out a Lotto prize worth more than $40,000.
The two winners from Western Australia were among seven Aussies who will enter 2025 $44,647.30 richer after the Oz Lotto draw on Tuesday.
Three winners from NSW and the ACT also claimed the earnings.
The winning numbers for draw number 1,611 were 12,47,4,15,24,38 and 7. The supplementary numbers were 43,46 and 8.
More than $4,600 was claimed by 80 division three winners including 28 winners from NSW and the ACT.
The division three prize pool was worth $369,356.
Hundreds of winners took out the division four prize worth $437.10 including 77 West Australians.
It comes after a couple from Parmelia, in Perth’s south, won $100,000 from a Scratch ‘n’ Win ticket on Saturday.

The man in his 50s claimed the prize money at the Lotterywest office on Monday.
‘On Saturday I woke up feeling funny and with itchy palms, so I decided to take this as a sign to go and treat myself to a scratchie ticket,’ the man said.
The couple intend to spend some of their fortune on a trip to Bali to celebrate the New Year.
Last month, a father from the Northern Rivers in NSW took out $1million in prize money just days before Christmas after he picked the winning numbers in the Weekly Windfall draw.
The father was left in tears after he received a call from The Lott informing him that he had become an overnight millionaire.
‘Thank you, lord. This is the biggest blessing. I’m crying,’ he said.
‘This is the best Christmas present ever… in my entire life!’
