A Melton couple has confessed to feeling a sense of ‘incredulity’ after discovering they’d bagged more than $680,000 in a recent TattsLotto draw.
The pair held one of the eight division one winning entries in TattsLotto draw 4443, drawn Saturday, February 17. Each division one winning entry scored a total prize of $683,814.78.
They came forward to claim their prize almost two weeks after the draw, one winner said she was still shell-shocked by the news.
“One word to describe it – incredulity,” she said.
“It’s still sinking in. We’re still awestruck.
“We were at home last Monday night and we were completing the usual routine. I decided to check our ticket and I couldn’t believe it.
“We had to call one of our daughters to come over and triple-check it for us. Once she saw it, she definitely believed it.
The unregistered division one winning entry was purchased at Melton Lotto & TSG on High Street.
Melton Lotto & TSG owner Phong Thai said he was lost for words when he heard his ‘lucky outlet’ had sold its 64th division one winning entry.
“I couldn’t believe that I had sold yet another division one winning entry so soon,” he said.
“Customers refer to me as ‘Mr Lucky’, and I sure do live up to the name! We have customers who travel interstate and beyond to purchase tickets from my outlet.”
