A Leanyer couple is celebrating a life-changing win of $411,699.30 in Saturday's TattsLotto draw, securing one of 13 division one prizes in Saturday Lotto draw 4447 on 2 March, 2024.
The long-time lottery players, who have been playing the same set of numbers (birthdates) for 40 years, finally saw their dedication pay off.
The Northern Territory duo were quick to commemorate their division one win over the weekend – inviting their nearest and dearest out to the local club for celebratory drinks.
“Yee-haw!” the merry husband exclaimed when getting the confirmation of their win.
“Happy days! How good is that!
“I’ve been playing these same set of numbers for 40 years. They’re a bunch of birthdates.
“I was lying in bed on Saturday night and before I fell asleep, I decided to check the ticket. I couldn’t believe it.
“Have we celebrated yet? On Sunday we did, big time! I called my mates in the morning, and we decided to go to the local club to celebrate.
“We’ll probably use the prize to pay off the house mortgage. It will be a huge help".
Their winning marked System 9 entry was purchased at Leanyer Newsagency, Shop 18, Hibiscus Shoppingtown, Cnr Leanyer Drive and Vanderlin Drive, Leanyer.
The winning numbers in Saturday Lotto draw 4447 on 2 March 2024 were 19, 15, 18, 30, 5 and 8, while the supplementary numbers were 7 and 26.
