A Mernda man has taken home over $960,000 after being declared one of the 11 winners of this weekend’s TattsLotto.
The man who wishes to remain anonymous purchased his winning ticket online via the Lott website.
The man said he was very excited but he was still coming to terms with the news.
“I’m still trying to process the winning news. I discovered the win on Sunday morning, but I still can’t get over it,” he said.
“The only other person who knows about the win is my brother. He’s very stoked.
“We’re going to celebrate together and share a bottle of champagne.”
The man said he intends to use his winnings to buy a home.
“I can now look at saying goodbye to renting and owning my very own dream home.
“Maybe I’ll throw a party to celebrate when I purchase my new home- who knows!
“What a great way to start 2023.”
The Mernda local purchased a System 14 entry for Saturday’s draw. The winning numbers were 38, 17, 18, 2, 11 and 9, while the supplementary numbers were 41 and 37.
“I’ve been playing for a while, but only recently decided to give bigger entries a go,” he said.
“I’ve dreamt of winning division one, and now it’s happened. I hope this gives other players hope that you can win big one day.”
