Bathurst Dad bags million-dollar prize

A Bathurst father was surprised with an early Father’s Day gift scoring $1 million in a Weekday Windfall draw. The generous father immediately thought of his children, sharing the news with them.

“I checked my ticket just before and I’m over the moon,” he shared.

“I’m excited but pretty calm actually.

“My kids mean the world to me, so I already know I’ll be helping them out.

“They’re not going to believe me, that’s for sure!”

Sleepless surprise for West Gippsland mother

While our Bathurst winner shares the life-enhancing news with his children, a West Gippsland mother can’t wait to clear her kid's HECS debt in one triumphant sweep, after snagging over $365,000 in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw.

“I was about to head off to bed last night but thought I’d bring up my ticket and check the results. I started to see my numbers come up one by one. One number, two numbers… three numbers,” she said.

“I thought, ‘Hmm! This can’t be right. I had to double-check that I was seeing things correctly. I even called my daughter late last night to make sure I wasn’t seeing things.

“I’m really pleased to see that the division one prize pool was shared amongst 14 people. A lot of people get the money!

“My husband and I would like to pay off our children’s HECS debt completely and help them out.”

Benowa couple's 20-year tradition delivers pot of gold

Meanwhile in the Sunshine State, a Benowa couple were left spinning in disbelief when they discovered an Instant Scratch-Its top prize worth $100,000. The ecstatic duo shared they’d had a weekly Instant Scratch-Its ritual for the past 20 years, however never imagined they’d win anything.

“We haven’t stopped smiling!” the winning wife cheered.

“Once I scratched the winning ticket, I think I looked over it about 500 times in sheer disbelief.

“We’ve been having a few setbacks recently so it kind of feels like the universe has come together for us.

“I’m still sitting here thinking this can’t be real! I don’t want this moment to end.”

Goosebumps and tears of joy!

While our Benowa couple come to terms with their newfound pot of gold, a Taylors Lake man was left teary-eyed and shivering after his late father’s numbers landed him a life-enhancing TattsLotto win.

“Holy crap!” he yelled.

“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.

“This is incredible. I think it’s time for a holiday somewhere – an escape!”
