Perth man reveals travel plans after taking home Saturday’s division one Lotto prize

Decades of dedication have paid off for one Perth resident who claimed a “life-changing” division one Lotto prize on Saturday.

The south of the river man — who purchased his ticket from Newstime Lottery Centre in the CBD — has been playing his favourite numbers for 30 years.

After matching five winning numbers the weekend before, the man predicted he would win big in the next draw.

“I had a good feeling I might get six this weekend,” he said.

The winner was still shocked to discover on Monday that he had won a massive $546,068.

He said he will use his winnings to retire a little earlier and travel the country with his wife in “probably a bit more luxurious caravan than (they) had initially planned”.

Lotterywest spokesperson Zoe Wender said the man was one of two WA division one winners on Saturday — with the second winner purchasing his ticket online.

“Saturday Lotto continues to be the game that produces more division one wins in WA than any other game.”

Another eight people won big, taking home nearly $10,000 each in division two.

WA’s Division Two tickets were sold from:

• Carousel Lottery Centre & News
• Innaloo Lottery Centre
• Miami Newsagency, Falcon
• Optimal Pharmacy Plus Midland
• Priceline Pharmacy Woodvale
• The Mezz News, Mount Hawthorn
• Lotterywest Play Online x 2.

Saturday’s winning numbers: 1, 28, 19, 6, 17, 10 and Supps: 35, 14
