A Maryborough man’s mundane morning took a wild twist when he casually checked his TattsLotto ticket and realised he was sitting on an eye-popping $890,000 division one win.
 
The victorious Victorian held one of the six division one winning entries in TattsLotto draw 4517 drawn Saturday, 2 November 2024, and takes home a total prize of $894,879.56.

“Thank you very much!” he exclaimed when we confirmed his newfound fortune.
 
“I’m so excited. I’m used to winning $22 on my ticket; this is next level.
 
“My partner and I have been out and about on the weekend, and I haven’t had a chance to check my ticket until today. 
 
“It’s definitely a nice surprise for our day!”
 
With an unexpected $890,000 windfall about to land in his pocket, the blue-collar worker is ready to bid farewell to mortgage payments and fast-track his retirement dreams.
 
“The first thing I’ll do with the prize is pay off the mortgage and clear any bills,” he shared.
 
“I’ll invest the rest, and then look forward to an early retirement.”
 
The winning entry was purchased at Maryborough News & Lotto, 192 High Street, Maryborough.
