A young apprentice who won $4.8 million in a lottery has revealed he plans to use some of his winnings on Lego. 

The man, aged in his 20s, purchased a Set for Life lottery ticket from a newsagency in Wongan, a suburb 180km north of Perth

He was ecstatic to learn his lucky ticket had won $20,000 a month for the next 20 years.

The apprentice, who plans to continue working, has revealed he wants to spend some of his winnings at Legoland. 

'On my silly list is a plan to go to Legoland and buy $20,000 worth of Lego,' he said. 

Lotterywest spokesperson Jennie Fitzhardinge said: 'The fact our most recent winner says that while the win is life changing and will give him a comfortable lifestyle, that he will continue to work, is what this game is all about.'

A Perth mother also pocketed $3.3 million in a Lotto win this month after her husband bought her the ticket for Mother's Day. 

The woman said she is going to enjoy a holiday with her family and pay off her mortgage.    

Earlier this year, a Sydney woman in her 40s won $107 million jackpot after purchasing a Powerball ticket. 

This win broke records as it was the largest prize won by a single player in Australian history.
