Perth has welcomed its newest multimillionaire after a lucky punter won a massive Lotto jackpot over the weekend — and they might not even know it.
The punter was just one of three Australian winners who nabbed the division one jackpot on Saturday, with the windfall officially making the Perth local $3.3 million richer.
No one in WA has yet come forward to claim the jaw-dropping jackpot but Lotterywest has revealed where the lucky ticket was bought.
It was purchased from Highgate Lotto News & Gifts, a newsagency located in Perth’s inner-city suburbs.
The owner of the Beaufort Street newsagency Natasha Asquin said that she was thrilled to learn that her store’s sale helped change someone’s life.
“We have had the shop for two and a half years and this is the first division one winning ticket we have sold,” she said.
“It’s so rewarding to know that one of our customers has won a prize that could change their life.”
Ms Asquin said that she had no clue who the lucky customer was but she would be thrilled if it was one of her regulars.
“We have lots of regulars but being in the city we have lots of people who pass by too — I’d love it if the winner was one of our regular customers,” she said.
“When a win like this happen so close to you, it makes you realise that winning the Lotto can really happen to anyone.”
Lotterywest spokesperson Zoe Wender said the mystery player was WA’s 30th division one winner in 2026.
“It’s exciting to think that an ordinary trip to the shops may have resulted in an extraordinary outcome for one West Aussie,” she said.
The winning numbers for draw #4699 were 42, 32, 30, 15, 3, and 11. The supplementary numbers were 38 and 43.
