A devoted Shepparton dad has defied the odds, winning $500,000 not once, but twice in the same TattsLotto draw after playing to help support his beloved son. 
 
Remarkably, the winning man held two of the 10 division one winning entries nationally in TattsLotto draw 4507, drawn Saturday 28 September. This meant he took home $1,036,729.26 instead of the single division one prize of $518,364.63.
 
“Thank you very much!” he cheered.
 
“I just have this marked ticket on repeat. I have always just played two of the same tickets. 

“I’ve been playing all my life, but once I had my son, he was always top of mind.

“He’s been going through some challenging times, and I’ve always wanted to help him. 
 
“He’s now got a family of his own, and I can’t wait to tell him.
 
“I can’t believe it. You’ve kicked off my day the right way!”
 
His two winning marked 12-game entries were purchased at Fairleys Lotto, 177 – 193 Numurkah Road, Shepparton.
 
The Fairleys Lotto team couldn’t believe they sold two division one winning entries in the weekend’s draw and wished their regular customer all the very best with their prize.
