A Mandurah couple are celebrating a huge $2 million Lotto win after taking out Saturday's division one prize.

Having not yet checked their ticket, the couple in their 40s spent the Sunday following the draw shopping for a massage chair, unaware their new budget allowed them to choose the best of the best. 

“When we got home from shopping first thing I did was check the cricket score. Feeling disappointed WA lost, my disappointment soon faded when I checked my Lotto ticket and saw I had all the numbers,” the winner said.

“I couldn’t believe it . . . we didn’t sleep a wink that night. It was only when Lotterywest rang the next morning that we knew it was real.”

The couple said an early retirement, holiday home in Margaret River and giving to charity were also on the cards thanks to the life-changing prize.

The winning ticket was purchased through Lotterywest Play Online.
