A Dunsborough man who bought a Lotto ticket from Sea Change News is more than $1 million richer.

Lotterywest confirmed the division one prize winner, who bought his ticket for Saturday’s draw, had come forward and was “pumped.”

There were only four winners around Australia, who have each won $1.104 million.

It was the second time in two years a division one winning ticket had been sold by Sea Change News, and director Travis Fassom said he was hoping for third time lucky in the $20 million super draw this weekend.

“It always comes as a surprise when you get a division one ticket sold at your store and obviously sales grow,” he said.

“It’s almost two years to the day that we last sold a division one,” he said.

“We’re hoping lightning strikes twice and we get a bigger winner this week.”

The search continues for another division one winner, with Clark’s Newsagency in Albany also selling a winning ticket last week.

Dunsborough local Debbie Read was queuing up for her ticket on Wednesday morning and said she was hoping the lucky trend continued.
