The winning numbers are: 22, 3, 5, 23, 4, 14, 6.

The powerball number is: 17.

There were 24 division 3 winners in WA who will each take home $12,552.70, but there were no division 1 or 2 winners from the state.

Lotterywest spokesperson Sarah Dawson said nobody in WA took home the big prize, players across the state had helped to raise more than $20.3M for the community.

“We recently saw the completion of 18 new homes in Fremantle for older women experiencing homelessness, which was supported by a $2.2 million Lotterywest grant,” she said.

“It’s grants like the St Pat’s My Home project that are funded thanks to the WA community playing Lotto.”

The next chance to become a Lotto millionaire will be in the $30 million Megadraw on Saturday.

So far this year, there has been one WA powerball winner, who took home $40M.
