A West Sunshine shopper is heading into the weekend over $544,000 richer after discovering five days after the draw they won division one in last Saturday’s TattsLotto draw.
The Melbourne resident held one of the seven division one winning entries nationally in TattsLotto draw 3911, drawn Saturday 12 January 2019. Each entry took home a division one prize of $544,506.45.
Despite being registered to a Tatts Card, Tatts officials had not been able to contact the winner on the details provided and had to wait for them to come forward to claim their prize.
However, how the player plans to spend their TattsLotto windfall will forever remain a mystery as they have chosen to remain completely anonymous and celebrate in private.
Tatts spokesperson Bronwyn Spencer said that while we may never know how the West Sunshine shopper plans to spend their $544,000 windfall we are sure it is a great kick-start to the year.
“What better way to start 2019 than by discovering you are over $544,000 richer!” she exclaimed.
“No doubt our winner’s plans for the year will change when their bank account balloons by a few more zeros!
“Other winners tell us they love to share their windfall with their family, go on overseas holidays, pay off their mortgage or buy a new home.
“However our winner chooses to enjoy their windfall we are sure it has changed their lives forever!”
The winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased their entry at Glen Gala Lotto & Sub News, Shop 2, Glen Gala Shopping Centre, Cnr Fitzgerald Road & David Drive, West Sunshine.
