More than $750,000 for Caroline Springs winners

A Caroline Springs couple has confessed they’ve already started planning a family holiday to Europe after bagging $775,000 in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw.

The Caroline Springs residents held one of the seven division one winning entries in TattsLotto draw 4351, drawn Saturday, April 1 and took home a total division one prize.

One of the winners thought her husband was playing an April Fools joke when she heard the news.

“I got up on Sunday morning, and my husband told me to sit down because he had something important to tell me,” she said.

“My mind was racing at the thought of what it could be, and then when he showed me the win, I thought he was joking. “I was waiting to hear, ‘April fools’.

“This win will do so much for our family. We’re basically future-proof now, which is incredible.

“And we’re off to Europe, we deserve a holiday, so we’ve already looked at booking tickets and we’ll be off to see the sights in no time.”

Across Australia, there were seven division one winning entries in TattsLotto draw 4351 – Four in Victoria and one each in Queensland, New South Wales and Tasmania.

The Lott’s division one winning tally has now reached 325 so far this financial year, including 127 won by Tatts customers.
