He’s always dreamt about what he would do if he won TattsLotto, but a Kyabram man admits he doesn’t know where to start now he can now make those dreams a reality with his prize of almost $1 million.

“I never usually answer my phone at all,” he admitted.
“But I’m glad I picked up this call.
“Oh my god! Oh my god! Thank you very much.
“Every single week, my family and I talk about winning.
“We’ve had a few little wins here and there, and we always say what we’re going to do when we win TattsLotto.
“But now we’ve won, who knows what we’ll do!
“You may have a plan, but you never think it’s going to come true. We’re going to have to take some time to really think about it.”
The stunned Kyabram resident shared he and his wife looked forward to overhauling their retirement plans and helping their family with the prize.
