A Dawesville man has spent the past three weeks with more than $1 million stuck to his fridge.
The man in his 50’s has come forward as the owner of a Saturday Lotto Division One ticket from Miami Newsagency, which is now worth more $1.1 million dollars.
He started playing Saturday Lotto around 7 months ago, and during this time he purchased two tickets for Saturday’s draw on 17 April.
“The tickets sat on my fridge for three weeks, until I had to pay my water bill, I thought I might as well check them,” He said.
“I went to the retailer, on my first ticket I won $57 and thought ‘you beauty’.
“The second ticket told me to contact Lotterywest, the retailer took me out the back and said, ‘don’t lose this ticket’.”
A Harley Davidson, a new house and looking after his children are now part of his plans.
Lotterywest spokesperson Pina Compagnone said all eyes have turned to the Saturday Lotto’s Superdraw.
“This weekend we’ve got our $20 million Saturday Lotto Superdraw, and a great way to play is to get together in a syndicate to share the cost, and then hopefully the joy.”
“Tickets are available until 6pm Saturday from Lotterywest in-store, online or via the app.
