A Taylors Lakes man was left teary-eyed and shivering after his late father’s TattsLotto numbers landed him a life-enhancing win of more than $370,000 in the weekend’s draw.
 
The victorious Victorian held one of the 14 division one winning entries nationally in TattsLotto draw 4497, drawn Saturday 24 August 2024 and pocketed a total prize of $374,485.07.
 
The winning man was caught completely off guard when we called to reveal the wondrous news, leaving him in shock.
 
“Holy crap!” he yelled.
 
“Oh my god! Thank you. Wow!

“You wouldn’t believe it. I changed my usual numbers just a few months ago to my late father’s numbers, which he always used.
 

“It’s crazy. He passed away a few years ago now, but I only felt compelled to change my numbers recently.
 
“Now I’ve got goosebumps!
 
“Strange things have been happening and it’s just mind-blowing.
 
“I can’t believe it. It hasn’t been easy recently and this has come at a perfect time.
 
“I checked my app earlier, but I thought I had only won $3.
 
“This is incredible. I think it’s time for a holiday somewhere – an escape!”
 
The man’s winning marked System 8 entry was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
