A Mandurah couple's life has changed forever after claiming a $50 million Lotto win.

The millennial couple purchased the Slikpik 18 ticket through Lotterywest Play Online, taking out last week’s entire $50 million Powerball jackpot.

While the Mandurah locals said their day-to-day lives won’t change immediately, more family time is in their plan for the future.

“I’ve always dreamed of being a stay-at-home Dad and I can’t wait to make that a reality,” the winner said.

“Life with a toddler is very busy, so to be able to slow down and spend more quality time together will be very special."

The winner’s wife said she might order a steak the next time they go to the local pub rather than her usual parmy.

Before visiting the Lotterywest Winners Room earlier this week, the winning couple said they couldn’t believe their success.

“We are in total shock, I only play every now and again, this kind of thing doesn’t happen to normal people like us,” the man said.

“We love where we live so we don’t want to move, but we’ll probably get some new gutters and install ceiling fans around the house as well.”
