A Reservoir man has admitted he remained wide-eyed and too excited to sleep after checking his TattsLotto ticket before bed and discovering his $730,000 win.
The victorious Victorian held one of the seven division one winning entries nationally in TattsLotto draw 4525, drawn Saturday 30 November 2024 and looks forward to a total prize of $736,926.24.
“Thank you so much. I’m still processing the news!” he laughed when speaking to an official from The Lott.
“This will be a life-changer and make my life a lot easier.
“I treat myself to a QuickPick every week as a little treat. I never thought this would happen.
“I haven’t slept well last night. I couldn’t stop thinking about the win.
“I’ve had a few things on my mind; things I need to do. This will help me pay off my mortgage and some bills.
“I will be sensible and put $50,000 away for flash money. That’s what I’ll use to treat myself with!
“Everything else will be for the mortgage and bills.
“I’m freaking out just carrying this ticket around!”
His winning entry was purchased at MAGNAPLANET, 159 Sunshine Road, Footscray West.
MAGNAPLANET owner Ray Zachariah said he and his wife were thrilled to learn that his outlet had sold a division one winning entry in the weekend’s draw.
“It’s such a great milestone! We will be celebrating this big win in-store this week and inspiring our customers to potentially grab the next winning ticket,” he shared.
“This is our first time selling a division one winning entry since taking over ownership in November 2022!
