‘Strange feeling’ leads to $2.5m Saturday Lotto win

A strange feeling led to a Secret Harbour couple’s $2.5 million Saturday Lotto win.

The man had already done his food shopping and was heading back to his car at Secret Harbour Shopping Centre.

It was then he says he got the urge to turn around and get a ticket for Saturday’s $20 million Superdraw.

The ticket, from The Lucky Charm Secret Harbour, was one of eight division one winners sold throughout the country.

“I was heading back to the car from grocery shopping when something was pulling me to go back and grab a ticket,” he said.

It wasn’t until the winner received a call from Lotterywest that he realised he was the owner of the multi-million dollar ticket.

“When I realised it wasn’t a hoax, I was shocked and still am in a state of shock today,” he said.

Lotterywest spokesperson Hermione Coleman said all eyes were now fixed on Thursday’s $50 million Powerball draw.

“It’s the largest jackpot to be offered this year, and with one WA couple collecting a $30 million jackpot just a few weeks ago, we’re hoping luck might just strike again,” Ms Coleman said.

Tickets for Thursday’s $50 million Powerball jackpot are available from Lotterywest in-store, online or via the app.

Should a single WA winner take out Thursday night’s prize it would equal the state’s biggest ever Lotto win.

A family from Perth’s southern suburbs took out $50 million, also in Powerball, in July 2015.
