A Craigieburn man is attributing his newfound wealth to a unplanned but well-timed restroom bathroom, a life-changing event, that led him to a TattsLotto ticket that scored him a big slice of the top prize in this weekend's Saturday Lotto draw.
The Melbourne local held one of the six division one entries, bagging more than $848,230.70 in TattsLotto draw 4455 on Saturday 30 March 2024.
“I needed to go to the toilet so pulled into the shopping centre. I saw the Tatts shop and thought, ‘why not?’. So, I popped in and bought a ticket.
“I just bought it randomly.
“Then I forgot the ticket was in the car and then this morning I went to grab my wallet and saw the ticket. I had a look and… yeah… it was a winner!
“I’m still coming to terms with it! I haven’t let the ticket out of my sight.
“You know what. I always knew I was going to win the lottery, even though I’m not a regular player. I didn’t know when, I just have always said I was going to win. And it’s happened!
“We’re paying off the mortgage at the moment. So we’ll pay off that and invest the rest for the future!”
The man’s 50-game QuickPick was purchased at Craigieburn Lucks & Gifts, Shop 4B, Craigieburn Village, 330 Brookfield Boulevard, Craigieburn.
