A Dawesville man has walked around with Perth's most expensive mobile phone for almost a week, with a Saturday Lotto Division One winning ticket stashed inside his phone case.
The Slikpik 30 was a spur-of-the-moment purchase from The Lucky Charm Noranda and is worth more than $1.6 million.
The winner said he realised he still had the ticket almost a week later, and after being discretely told in-store that he was a winner he immediately set off for Lotterywest Head Office.
"It’s crazy to think I had the winning ticket at my fingertips all week," the winner said.
"I’m still numb and it’s all been a blur."
After being asked what he'll do with the prize money, the winner said his attention can turn to supporting others in need.
"I'm not a material man and I love helping people, this prize will allow me do that."
