Alkimos punter wins $300,000 after buying Scratch ‘n' Win ticket from The Lucky Charm Joondalup
A punter in Perth's northern suburbs is celebrating his luck after striking it rich while shopping for Christmas in July gifts. 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.
