After a rough couple of years, a North Melbourne man has declared his $756,000 TattsLotto win is a breath of fresh air that he plans to use to live life to the fullest.
The Victorian held one of the eight division one winning entries nationally in TattsLotto draw 4171 on Saturday 10 July 2021. Each division one winning entry scored $756,133.42.
When an official from The Lott called the Melbourne man to break the exciting news, he admitted he was on cloud nine.
“Woo-hoo! Thank you so much!” he giggled happily.
“I thought you were a telemarketer or someone like that! That’s why it took me so long to answer your calls.
“I definitely did not expect a call from The Lott. I am so glad I answered the phone.
“I feel so overwhelmed, I’ve been dreaming of this moment. I can’t believe I have scored division one!
“I have had lots and lots of really bad luck these last couple of years, so this feels like a really positive change.
“It’s a breath of fresh air!
“I can’t wait to call my family and freak them out with this news.
“This is an absolute dream! You haven’t just made my week; you’ve made my life.”
When asked how he planned to enjoy his Lotto loot, the euphoric Victorian said it would give his life plans a major boost.
“Live! I am going to live really, really well!” he laughed.
“For me, this means that I can just make my life so much better!
“Monetary items aren’t really that important to me – I just want to do more and see more. This win will really allow me to live my life to the fullest.”
His winning 50-game QuickPick entry was purchased at North Melbourne Lotto, 25 Errol Street, North Melbourne.
North Melbourne Lotto owner Salvatore Di Nucci said he was in high spirits following the discovery.
“We are so excited!” he laughed.
“I was watching the sport and was getting excited about that when my brother called me and told me we’d sold a division one winning entry.
“It just made me even more excited. I was so happy!
“It’s been a long time coming! Hopefully, it’s the start of a winning streak.
“Congratulations to our winner. We wish you all the best and hope it makes some of your dreams come true!”
