STAFF at a Perth lottery centre have been left stunned by a player who insisted they wait until 9.09am yesterday to print his ticket for the $20 million Superdraw.
The man walked into the Good Fortune Lottery Centre in Maddington at 9.01 yesterday - September 9, 2009 - to buy a ticket for Saturday's Superdraw, a Lotterywest spokeswoman said.
Staff member Gloria King put his ticket request through the lottery terminal but was quickly stopped by the man, who was adamant that they wait until exactly 9.09am to print out his ticket.
Ms King said the man told her the number nine was very lucky for him.
"He told me the number nine is a very lucky number, and I'll be really interested to see if he wins," she said.
"As soon as we printed his ticket out, I printed one out for myself and my staff!"
Yesterday's date of 9/09/09 was the last of the single-digit dates for 1001 years, Lotterywest says
What's more, the words "Wednesday" and "September" are each made up of nine letters.
Tickets for Saturday's $20 million Superdraw will be on sale at Lotterywest retail outlets around the state until 6pm on Saturday.
