A young Hampton Park man has started his week buoyed by a $740,000 TattsLotto win, declaring he’s ready to pay off his parents’ mortgage and give back to the family.

The Melburnian held one of the nine division one winning entries nationally in TattsLotto draw 4643, drawn Saturday 17 January 2026. He looks forward to a total prize of $741,935.70.

When we called with the thrilling revelation this morning, the blue-collar worker couldn’t help but break down in tears.

“What the f***!” he cried.

“I just went into my account and it says I’ve won $740,000! Is that right? Holy s***! I can’t believe it!

“I’m crying! I didn’t even check my ticket. I am so shocked!

“I am going to call my fiancé straight after this call!

“I also start my new apprenticeship soon. Everything is looking up.

“F*** sake! Wow!

“This means I can pay off my parents’ mortgage, and some of my mortgage too!

“I don’t think my parents will believe the news either.

“Thank you so much!”

His winning 36-game QuickPick entry was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.

The winning numbers in TattsLotto draw 4643 on 17 January 2026 were 38, 8, 35, 19, 44 and 9, while the supplementary numbers were 23 and 33.
