The winning numbers were 22, 30, 24, 12, 5, 3, 27 with supplementary numbers of 39 and 28.
Spokesperson for Lotterywest, Pina Compagnone, said it was the first Oz Lotto major win for Western Australia this year.
'It's always an exciting moment when the state produces a big Lotto winner, especially a multimillion-dollar one,' Ms Compagnone said.
'It has added to our growing tally of Division One winners, which now sits at 28 and total prizes worth almost $36.5 million.'
People commenting on Lotterywest's Facebook page congratulated the winner, who may still be unaware they have become a millionaire.
