The couple, who have been loyal customers of newsXpress Tatura for over two decades, experienced a range of emotions from shock to elation upon discovering their win.
“I couldn’t believe it and my husband couldn’t believe it. At first, he thought it was only a couple of hundred dollars.
"It was 5am on Sunday morning when I checked my TattsLotto ticket. I couldn't believe it, and neither could my husband," the winning woman shared.
Their faith in luck was finally rewarded after years of anticipation.
"My husband has always said we'll win TattsLotto one day. We've been visiting the same newsagency for over 20 years," she added. The couple's consistency and optimism have finally paid off, offering them a new chapter filled with possibilities.
With their newfound fortune, the couple is eager to replace their cars, embracing the freedom and opportunities their winnings afford. "It’s so wonderful," the woman exclaimed.
