In a life-altering moment, a young Croydon man has won nearly $1 million in the recent TattsLotto draw, sparking plans for world travel and a solid financial foundation for his future.
The man, in his 20s, was one of five division one winners across Australia in the Saturday Lotto draw 4425 on December 16, 2023. Each winner in this draw received a substantial prize of $982,100.68.
Upon discovering his win, the man shared his shock and excitement with lottery officials.
“I just checked my ticket just now and I just about got a heart attack,” the winning man exclaimed.
“It’s very bizarre. It’s just insane!
“The funny thing is, I only play TattsLotto every and then – just when I remember to grab a ticket.
“I’ve been fortunate in life in many ways, but this is just mind-numbing.
“I don’t know how to explain it. It’s just an incredible amount to win.
“It’s an awesome time to win. I’ll be able to set myself up for life.
“I think there will be some more travel on the horizon too.
“I don’t know what my brain’s doing at the moment.
“Unbelievable!”
His winning ticket, an 18-game QuickPick, was purchased online at the official website.
The lucky numbers that brought this unexpected fortune were 12, 39, 13, 8, 17, and 41, with supplementary numbers 27 and 32.
