A Plenty man has admitted he can buy all the Easter chocolates in the world with his sweet $2.5 million windfall in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw.
The Nillumbik resident held one of the eight division one winning entries in TattsLotto draw 4349, drawn Saturday 25 March 2023 and took home a total division one prize of $2,500,000.00.
The Victorian, who was oblivious to his good fortune, was prompted to call The Lott after receiving multiple missed calls this morning.
“Holy s***! Gee whiz!” he joyfully yelled when the enormity of his prize was revealed.
“Oh wow! That’s remarkable! Just phenomenal!
“This is one of the greatest shocks of my life.
“I received a notification to check my TattsLotto ticket, and at first, I misinterpreted it as the notification that customers receive about the prize pool.
“Then I saw that I had won $8 on another ticket, and I thought that’s all I had won. I told my workmate, and he started to laugh.
“Now I can’t stop laughing!
“I always try and buy my TattsLotto ticket, no matter what!
“What a great Easter present to receive. I could buy all the Easter chocolates with $2.5 million!
“What a great way to start my Monday, week, month and even year!”
When asked how he planned to enjoy his life as a newly made multi-millionaire, the regular player shared it would help him achieve a number of lifelong plans.
“I can help my family and friends, retire from work, and buy a house – all of the above!” he exclaimed.
“I’m going to go see my parents and tell them the news soon. I think my mum will faint.”
His winning 12-game QuickPick entry was purchased online at thelott.com – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
