“Woohoo! Thank you very much.
“I play every week and have used family birthdates and things like that, but this was just a random ticket.
“Those numbers don’t mean anything to me… but they do now.
“It’s very exciting that after all these years of playing, it’s finally paid off. You’ve got to be in it to win it!
“I’ll pay off my mortgage and then I’ll work out how to divide it among my family. It’s going to put a smile on lots of people’s faces!
“I’ve got a bottle of Moet in the cupboard and I’ll be putting that into the fridge to celebrate!”

Cheltenham TattsLotto prize yet to be claimed
A Cheltenham player has started the week as a division one winner, but first, they need to check their TattsLotto ticket and come forward to claim their prize.
The division one winning entry is unregistered, which means officials from The Lott have no way to contact the winner to break the exciting news and must wait for them to come forward to claim their prize.
The winning entry was purchased at Southland Lotteries, Shop K318, Westfield Southland, 1239 Nepean Highway, Cheltenham.
Southland Lotteries owner Farah Jabeen said it was the first time her outlet had sold a division one winning entry under her and her husband’s ownership.
“We are just as excited as the person who has won division one! We can't wait to see their reaction when they get the news. It will be such a surreal experience to see them rejoicing,” she said.
“This is such a huge amount, and it could completely change their life for the better.
“We really would like to wish them all the best so that they can secure their future and also fulfil their dreams.”
The Lott spokesperson Matt Hart said The Lott was in the business of paying prizes and looked forward to uniting the winner with their TattsLotto loot.
“It’s likely our latest winner has started the week with no idea they’ve won division one in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw!” he exclaimed.
“We’re urging all players who purchased a TattsLotto ticket from Southland Lotteries to check their tickets as soon as possible.
“Make sure you check your ticket, which could be in your wallet, handbag, fridge door or car glovebox, because our mystery winner could be you!”
