Twin brothers from Albany in Western Australia have won a second major lotto prize in less than two years, securing $1 million through the Millionaire Medley game.
The 65-year-old siblings will share the windfall after previously winning Set for Life in February 2025. That prize provided $200,000 upfront and $20,000 a month for 20 years.
The brothers used their earlier winnings to buy their sister’s home. They now plan to clear the remaining property costs and travel around Australia.
“We’re set now,” one of the brothers said.
“We’ve worked physically demanding jobs our whole lives but now we can relax a bit more, pay the house off and then we both want to get caravans so we can travel around Australia together.”
Both winning tickets were bought at Clarks Newsagency in Albany, where the latest result has generated excitement among customers.
“There’s a lot of excitement and talk and it’s encouraging people to come in store, especially people who usually play online,” a newsagency spokesperson said.
Lotterywest spokesperson Nikki Wilson-Smith said it was unusual to see the same players return to the winner’s room for a second significant prize so soon after their first.
“Winning a major prize is a memorable moment for any player, but to experience two significant wins within such a short period is remarkable,” she said.
“It’s wonderful to see these brothers using their prizes to secure their future and enjoy retirement together.”
