Lotto: Man from Perth’s northern suburbs wins $2.5 million, second winning Superdraw ticket remains unclaimed

Two West Aussies became instant multi-millionaires at the weekend when they took home a whopping $2.5 million in Saturday night’s Lotto Superdraw.

One of the winners — a northern suburbs man in his 40’s — bought the ticket at Mayfair News in West Perth, nearby to where he works.

He said he was in disbelief when he checked the numbers online the day after the draw.

“when I saw I had them all, I was in total disbelief,” he said. The man arrived at Lotterywest HQ on Monday to collect his prize and celebrated the exciting news with a beachside dinner.

He said he plans to spend his winnings on an exotic holiday to a tropical island. “Somewhere super hot with beaches and palm trees sounds pretty good to me,” he said. Lotterywest spokesperson Zoe Wender said she is still waiting for the owner of the second winning ticket to come forward.

She revealed it was purchased from Busy Bee Lottery Kiosk in Kelmscott.
