A hardworking Narre Warren couple has been left in a flood of tears after the revelation they’re now multi-millionaires from the weekend’s TattsLotto draw.

The Melbourne small business owners held one of the four division one winning entries across Australia in TattsLotto draw 4285 on Saturday 13 August 2022. Each division one winning entry pocketed a $5 million prize.

When an official from The Lott reached out to the husband and wife team yesterday, they were hard at work and oblivious to their life-changing news.

“Are you f***ing joking?” the winning wife screamed.

“Oh my god! I can’t speak through the tears.

“That’s crazy. That’s nuts!

“You have no idea what this means to us. We own a small business and it’s been pretty much closed for the past two years. We’ve struggled so much. This is incredible.

“We’re still open today and we’ll keep working today. Nothing’s going to bring me down today!”

The couple explained they’d been replaying the same TattsLotto entry for years.

“A long time ago, I got this ticket and I just kept it in my Favourites. I’m glad I did!” she said.

“At the moment, I can’t even think what we’ll do with the prize. My mind is blank.

“It’s just a huge weight off our shoulders and we can just relax and have financial freedom.”

The winning couple purchased their marked 24-game entry online at thelott.com – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.

The winning numbers in TattsLotto draw 4285 on 13 August 2022 were 15, 35, 29, 1, 38 and 20, while the supplementary numbers were 31 and 8.

Across Australia, there were four division one winning entries in TattsLotto draw 4285 – two from New South Wales and two from Victoria.
