This Lotto ticket from Clark’s Newsagency is now worth $648,000.

The workmates said they plan to purchase a boat and use the money for a deposit for a first home.

With a baby due next month, one group member said the win came at the perfect time.

“The past two division one wins from WA have been syndicates, so we’re crossing our fingers that Thursday’s draw can make it number three.”
