A Craigieburn mum has had the ultimate interruption while gardening this morning – receiving a call with news she’d won $1 million in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw.
There were six division one winning entries across Australia in TattsLotto draw 4215, drawn Saturday 11 December 2021. Each entry takes home a division one prize worth $1,012,907.10.
There have been 30 division one wins in Melbourne's north so far in 2021 worth more than $30.5 million.
When an official from The Lott called the Victorian this morning, she was completely oblivious to her windfall.
“Oh my god! Oh my god! Are you for real? This is so overwhelming,” the winning woman giggled.
“What the hell! What is going on? One million dollars!?
“I had absolutely no idea. I’ve just been working in the garden all morning.
“I’m a millionaire!? This is insane.
“What a way to end the year!
“Oh my goodness. I can’t believe this! I think I’m going to cry.
“My husband has just walked into the room and he’s trying to ask me what’s going on. I can’t wait to tell him!
“This is just perfect! It’s life changing.
“We’ll have to go out for a nice long lunch today to celebrate.”
The Melburnian declared her million-dollar win would be put to good use.
“We can help the kids so much more now,” she cried.
“Oh my god, we can retire from work now too! We’ve been wanting to retire for ages because both of our jobs are stressful.
“Life’s too short, now we can make the most of life and focus on the things that really matter.
“We’ve always wanted a caravan so we could travel around Australia. I’m sure that’ll be in our retirement plans!
“We’ll live like millionaires.”
The winning entry was purchased at The Lucky Charm Craigieburn, Shop C16 Craigieburn Central, Craigieburn.
