Geelong couple win $2.73 million in TattsLotto draw after buying ticket at Drysdale Newsagency

Aussie couple reveal their life-changing plan after $2.7m Lotto win: ‘We’re so excited, but so nervous’

  • Two division one winners in TattsLotto
  • A couple will use $2.73m share to pay off home
  • Winners were from Victoria and the ACT 

A couple will pay off their mortgage and share their newfound wealth with loved ones after a Lotto win made them Australia’s latest multi-millionaires. 

A family from Drysdale, near Geelong, south-west of Melbourne took home $2.73m as one of two first division-winning entries in last Saturday’s TattsLotto draw.

Lotto officials had to wait several days for the winners to come forward and claim their prize as their entry was unregistered and officials had no way of contacting them to tell them about their massive windfall.

‘We’re so excited, but so nervous at the same time,’ the winning woman told officials.

‘We’re still trying to wrap our heads around it all. There’s been talk about a mystery winner in Drysdale, but we didn’t think it could be us.’

‘We only discovered the win this morning. Our lives have changed forever!’

The delighted couple will use some of the prize money to own their home outright.

‘It will go towards the mortgage, and the other boring stuff!’ the woman said.

‘We will definitely share the win around.’

Her husband added: ‘We might even sit on it for 12 months, just so we know what we’re definitely doing!’

The winning entry was purchased at Drysdale Newsagency.

‘We were so excited to hear that we had sold a division one winning entry in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw!’ owner Pam Gillett said.

‘This is my first division one winning entry since taking over the newsagency, so it’s very exciting for my team and I.

‘We have already started to decorate the outlet and have shared the excitement with our customers in-store and on our business social media channels.

‘Our customers have expressed their excitement with us with the hope that they’re holding the division one winning entry.

The other first division one winner was from the ACT. 

The winning numbers in TattsLotto draw 4357 on April 22 were 32, 4, 38, 41, 34 and 29, while the supplementary numbers were 27 and 11.

The next TattsLotto draw is this Saturday night.
