Narre Warren couple wake up $5 million richer

A Narre Warren couple are starting the week $5 million richer, after winning division one in Saturday’s TattsLotto draw.

The small business owners held one of four division one entries across Australia in TattsLotto draw 4285 on Saturday 13 August, each of which pocketing $5 million.

The couple were hard at work on Sunday when an official from The Lott reached out to the husband and wife team, who were brought to tears by the news.

“Oh my god! I can’t speak through the tears,” the wife said.

“You have no idea what this means to us. We own a small business and it’s been pretty much closed for the past two years. We’ve struggled so much. This is incredible.

The couple explained they’d been replaying the same TattsLotto entry for years.

“A long time ago, I got this ticket and I just kept it in my Favourites. I’m glad I did!” she said.

“At the moment, I can’t even think what we’ll do with the prize. My mind is blank.

“It’s just a huge weight off our shoulders and we can just relax and have financial freedom.”

The winning couple purchased their marked 24-game entry online at thelott.com

Across Australia, there were four division one winning entries in TattsLotto draw 4285 – two from New South Wales and two from Victoria.
