A Warrnambool couple have received the best wedding anniversary gift of their lives after a ticket they bought in celebration delivered them a win of more than $660,000 in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw.
 
The Victorian lovebirds held one of the eight division one winning entries in TattsLotto draw 4503, drawn Saturday 14 September 2024. Each entry pocketed $660,110.33.
 
“Thank you so much!” the winning wife cheered.
 
“I completely forgot about this ticket.
 
“You see, I usually purchase a ticket each week but this one I bought special for my husband for our wedding anniversary.
 
“This is unbelievable.
 
“My dad always said, ‘You’ve got to be in it to win it!’.
 
“We’re actually on holiday at the moment. We’re having a nice time, but this is the icing on the cake.”
 
When asked how they planned to use their newfound fortune, the winning couple said they would need some time to think about it.
 
“My son just said we can hire a chauffeur instead of him driving us around all the time!” she laughed.
 
“Honestly though, we’re not sure yet. We’ll need some time to think but I know it’s going to help a lot of people.
 
“We might have to take the whole family on holiday!”
 
The 25-game QuickPick entry was purchased from Warrnambool Nextra and Officesmart, 145 Koroit Street, Warrnambooll.
