A very lucky Perth man has won big again after winning the Saturday Lotto Superdraw and cashing in a whopping $1.8 million.<\/p>\n
The man, in his sixties, who bought his ticket south of the river from Palmyra Supa News, is the first of three Superdraw Saturday Lotto Division One winners to come forward.<\/p>\n
In 2015, he won big with a thrilling $3 million share of a syndicate $30 million Lotto draw.<\/p>\n
He discovered the win on Saturday night after checking his numbers on the Lotterywest website.<\/p>\n
\u201cI went to the newsagency where I buy my tickets and the newsagent said to me, \u2018What are you doing here on a Monday? Did you know we had a winner?\u2019 and I said, \u2018I do actually, I think it\u2019s me,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Eleven years ago he used his winnings modestly on rather practical things \u2014 but now that he\u2019s won again, he says it might be time for something bigger.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I won 11 years ago, we took a holiday, cleared some debt and helped out the kids,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis time, I\u2019ll be able to transition into retirement sooner than I had planned,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter this win, enough is enough! I\u2019m going to enjoy my retirement with my wife.\u201d<\/p>\n
The chances of winning a lotto prize twice are thought to be 24 trillion to one.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on his second win, he acknowledged how rare it was<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t play for a while after the first win, but I like to play when there are big jackpots or Superdraw weekends, and I also play weekly in a syndicate with my friends,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The winning could come as quite a surprise to his wife, who hasn\u2019t yet been told the news.<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t even told my wife yet \u2014 last time she didn\u2019t believe me, so I thought I\u2019d come and collect the presentation cheque and show her that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
For his latest win, he played his favourite numbers, made up of his parents\u2019 full birthdays and combinations drawn from his immediate family\u2019s birthdays.<\/p>\n
He has been playing variations of these numbers for about eight years.<\/p>\n
The winning numbers were 22, 14, 6, 21, 9, 3 with supplementary numbers 38 and 20.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A very lucky Perth man has won big again after winning the Saturday Lotto Superdraw and cashing in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":758641,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[64,63,99,1625,12067,44],"class_list":["post-758640","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-business","tag-lifestyle","tag-lotto","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/758640","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=758640"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/758640\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/758641"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=758640"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=758640"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=758640"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
