A Kelmscott tradie who won $2.5 million in Saturday Lotto’s Superdraw plans to use his winnings to purchase his family home.
The winning Slikpik 30 was bought from Busy Bee Lottery Kiosk in Kelmscott, one of two Division One wins from WA in Saturday’s Superdraw.
The man in his 50s said his rental property was recently put on the market.
“Now I’ll put in an offer,” he said.
“It’s the only house my son has ever known and while it’s just a basic three-bedroom house, to us it’s home.”
The winner said he planned to keep working and would top up his superannuation.
“I don’t buy tickets all the time, but I always get them from Busy Bee,” he said.
“I like to support my local newsagency.”
Lotterywest spokesperson Zoe Wender said owning a home was part of the Australian dream.
“Winning Lotto is a life-changing experience, and we’re thrilled to hear that one of our winners can make his home ownership dream come true,” she said.
“Tickets sales from this Superdraw also raised $2.9 million for the WA community.”
Last year a $35,000 Lotterywest grant supported the City of Armadale to host a range of events to increase participation and connection within the Armadale community.
