“My mind is going a mile an hour”: Cranbourne man showered with $1.25 million TattsLotto windfall

A Cranbourne man’s morning shower was interrupted in the best way imaginable after he received a phone call from lottery officials confirming his $1.25 million TattsLotto win.

The Melburnian held one of the eight division one winning entries in TattsLotto draw 4377, drawn Saturday 1 July 2023.

Each division one winning entry pocketed $1,250,000.00.

With $1.25 million about to land in his bank account, the long-time player was too stunned to make any concrete plans but had an interstate holiday in mind.

“I haven’t even thought about it. It’s such a blur,” he said

“Perhaps get out of Melbourne.

“Maybe a little holiday to the Gold Coast, it’s nice and hot there.”

The Casey local said he had been playing lotto since he was “about 18 years old”.

“I’m now in my 60s,” he said.

“I received an email from The Lott on Sunday morning about a win.

“I thought it was division two or three – not division one! It’s very unexpected.

His winning 12-game QuickPick was purchased at Cranbourne Authorised Newsagency, 105 High Street, Cranbourne.

The Cranbourne Authorised Newsagency team said they were overjoyed for their division one winner and wished them all the best with their million-dollar win.
