A RETIRED Lilydale mother has come forward to claim her TattsLotto prize of more than $680,000, saying she will honour her promise to split the prize money with her two daughters. |
“We all play TattsLotto every week and have always said that whoever wins, we’re sharing it,” the mother explained. “We’re so excited, my daughters are in tears!” The winning woman said she’s been playing TattsLotto for 40 years and was stunned to find she had all six winning numbers in the weekend’s draw. “I’ve been playing TattsLotto since it started! When I looked up the winning numbers this week and checked them all off my ticket I nearly fell off my seat!” she laughed. “My house is in wreck and ruin at the moment so I’m going to work on it and get my garden fixed up and looking lovely. “One of my daughters will use her share of the prize money to pay off her mortgage and my other daughter will look for a house to buy as she’s been renting for years.” The winning TattsLotto 24-game QuickPick entry was purchased from Lilydale Village Lotto & News, Shop 5 in Lilydale Village on Anderson Street, Lilydale. As the winning entry was not registered to a Tatts Card, Tatts was unable to contact the winner with the good news following the draw. Throughout Australia, there were six entries that won a first division share of TattsLotto’s estimated $4 million division one prize pool in draw 3395, each worth $684,316.45. Along with the winning entry in Victoria, three winning entries were purchased in Queensland, and another one each in New South Wales and South Australia. The winning numbers in TattsLotto draw 3395 on 1 February 2014 were 16, 41, 11, 45, 32 and 40 with the supplementary numbers of 7 and 28. |
