Million-dollar lottery win sends Moonie Ponds man into shock
A Moonie Ponds man is finally allowing himself to celebrate his million-dollar Monday & Wednesday Lotto win after initially questioning if the life-changing news was true.

This morning, the joyful man checked his entry at his local newsagency and was stunned by the life-changing news.
“Thank you so, so much! I didn’t believe it at first. I still can’t,” he shared.
“I decided to check my entry at my local newsagency, and I couldn’t comprehend it! I’d won a million dollars!
“I did a double-take, well more of a several take. I just kept checking my tickets – multiple times!
“I’ve been playing TattsLotto since the lottery game started, so it’s really nice to see a win.
“I’m glad it’s all confirmed now. It means I can finally celebrate. My partner and I will have to have a champagne or two tonight!
“The main plan is to pay off the house mortgage. It’s been a long wish of ours and we can finally do it.
“It’s a pleasant surprise!”
His winning entry was purchased at Puckle Street Newsagency, 45 Puckle Street, Moonee Ponds.
The Puckle Street Newsagency team said they’re excited to have sold a division one winning entry to a local customer and wish him all the best.
