A Blackburn couple is busily planning their dream wedding after discovering they are now over $460,000 richer from winning division one in last weekend’s TattsLotto draw.

The thrilled winners held one of the nine division one winning entries nationally in TattsLotto draw 3891, drawn on Saturday 3 November 2018. Each entry took home a division one prize of $441,295.45.

As well as winning the coveted division one prize of $441,295.45, the happy couple’s System 9 entry also won division three 18 times and division four 45 times bolstering their total prize to $463,786.45.

Whilst the winning entry was registered to a Tatts card, the winning couple’s contact details were not up to date so Tatts officials had to wait for them to come forward to claim their prize.

When speaking with a Tatts official this morning, the loved-up winners revealed the news had come as a welcome surprise.

“I’m a bit shocked!” the winning woman exclaimed.

“I’m so happy about it. I just think ‘oh my gosh – is this real?’.”

When asked how they planned to spend their TattsLotto windfall, the betrothed duo revealed it would help them pay for their dream wedding.

“There are a few things we need to do. We’ll have to work it out but I’m very happy we’ve won!” she explained.

“It has definitely come at a good time! We’ll clear out some of our bills and work out which family we will share it with.

“We’ll definitely put some away and see what happens!

“We are getting married soon so it will definitely help us pay for our dream wedding!”

The couple, who wish to remain anonymous, purchased their winning System 9 entry from Mooroolbark Lotto Centre, Shop 14, 83 Brice Avenue, Mooroolbark.

The team at Mooroolbark Lotto Centre are celebrating selling their third division one winning entry in just five months.

The win comes after the outlet sold a TattsLotto division one winning entry worth $2 million in June and a TattsLotto division one winning entry worth $4,115,786.02 in September.

Owner of Mooroolbark Lotto Centre Wendy Chen said she was thrilled her outlet had sold another division one winning entry.

“We are so happy! Three division one winning entries in just five months!” she exclaimed.

“We must be a lucky store! Hopefully, we have many more wins to come.

“We are so pleased the winner has been united with their prize and we wish them all the best with their wedding!”

Tatts reminds players of the importance of keeping their Tatts Card contact details up to date so they can be contacted directly with the good news in the case of a win.
