A Braybrook man has set his sights on securing a family home to call his own, thanks to his hefty win of more than $830,000 in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw.

The victorious Victorian held one of the six division one winning entries nationally in TattsLotto draw 4557, drawn Saturday 22 March 2025. Each division one winning entry pocketed $833,493.02.

“Thank you. God bless!” he cheered when speaking to an official from The Lott.

“I checked my ticket using the app, and I started crying. I just couldn’t help it. I’m not someone who cries often, so it just goes to show how much this means.

“I called my wife straight away. She couldn’t talk and she was so shocked, she started to have a panic attack.

“We’ve been so stressed about losing my ticket. You have no idea. It’s so great to have the win confirmed.

“This means so much to us and it’s come in a very timely manner because we’re in the midst of securing a home.

“It’s a blessing, and it will help my family so much! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!”

His winning entry was purchased at Central West Newsagency, Shop 35, Central West Plaza, 67 Ashley Street, Braybrook.

Central West Newsagency owner Gino Bertolini shared he was thrilled to sell his third division one winning ticket in less than a year.

“I was so excited to hear the news and absolutely thrilled for our winning customer,” he said.

“This will be our third division one winning ticket we’ve sold in less than a year. Before that, we also sold another two, some years ago.

“We are ready to sell another winning ticket soon, so come on down and get a ticket. We are on a roll!

“To our winning customer, we’d like to wish health and happiness to go with your good fortune.”
