An Airport West family that has been using the same numbers on their TattsLotto entry for more than 50 years has been left in a state of shock after those digits were drawn in the weekend’s draw.
 
The Melbourne family syndicate held one of the 21 division one winning entries in TattsLotto draw 4489 on Saturday 27 July 2024. Each division one winning entry scored $952,380.96.
 
“I’m much better today than I was yesterday,” the family’s syndicate leader declared.
 
“I checked this ticket on the website this morning and lucky I was sitting down!
 
“Would you believe our family have been using these numbers since the very first TattsLotto draw?  They were first used by my parents and the family has kept playing the same numbers – they’ve never changed.
 
“All those years we’ve been playing and now they’ve been drawn. I’m just beside myself.
 
“It’s come at the right time. There are things we’d like to do that we can now do.
 
“For me, I’d like to do some travel, do some things around the house, and get a brand new car.
 
“It will just make life so much easier.”
 
The family’s winning marked System 8 entry was purchased on The Lucky Charm Airport West #2, Shop 142, Westfield Airport West, 29-35 Louis Street, Airport West.
