Alkimos punter wins $300,000 after buying Scratch ‘n' Win ticket from The Lucky Charm Joondalup
The Alkimos man and his wife walked out of the shops $300,000 better off after buying a Scratch 'n' Win ticket from The Lucky Charm Joondalup.
But the man first had to convince his wife that they had won.
'I said to my wife, 'We've just won $300,000',' the man, aged in his 30s, said.
'She said, 'No, we have not'. I said. 'Yes, we have'.
'We were jumping for joy, cheering, almost crying. And everybody in the store was congratulating us.'
The Lucky Charm Joondalup owner Parag Bhimjiyani said the excitement was infectious.
'The player was almost in tears,' he said.
'I gave him a hug. It's so special to be part of this big moment in someone's life.
'It's the first major prize my store has sold and hopefully the first of many.'
The winning couple celebrated with a family dinner at their favourite restaurant.
They plan to treat themselves to new computers to play their favourite video games.
West Aussies have the chance to become a multimillionaire in Saturday's $30 million megadraw.

Lotto: One lucky Aussie wins entire $30 million jackpot in Powerball draw
One Aussie's life changed forever on Thursday evening after they won the eye-watering $30 million Powerball prize. The entire $30,628,398.22 division one amount went to one extremely lucky player. The winning numbers were 2, 25, 6, 4, 31, 34, 19 and the Powerball number was 20. The multimillionaire winner was not from WA, residing elsewhere in the country. Unfortunately, West Aussies weren't too fruitful in division two either; there were 21 winners, each scoring $26,947.75, but they were all from elsewhere in the country. In division three, seven West Aussies won a handy $12,563.50, not to be sniffed at. Perth Now has recently revealed the luckiest Saturday Lotto numbers of the last forty years which may be helpful for any players hedging their bets on Saturday's $30 million mega draw. Many players use Playslips to select their preferred numbers, but most often, it's randomly generated figures at the point of sale that result in Division One wins. In May, a Warnbro couple planned an 'extra luxurious haircut for their beloved dog' after bagging a $1.2 million Saturday Lotto pay day from just a $6.65 Playslip.
