A Broadford man has confessed he’ll remain grounded and will focus on ensuring his children are set up for the future after bagging $2.5 million in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw.
The Victorian resident held one of the eight division one winning entries in Saturday Lotto draw 4395 on Saturday, 2 September 2023. Each division one winning entry pocketed $2.5 million.
The winning man took a little longer to discover his newfound fortune as the division one winning entry was unregistered, which means officials from The Lott had to wait for him to check his ticket and come forward.
‘Oh my god, this is unbelievable!’ the winning man exclaimed when an official from The Lott called to confirm his windfall.
‘I tell you what, I’m doing exceptionally well now!

‘I don’t know what to do though! I don’t know whether I should laugh or cry.
‘We play most weeks, and I’ve always gone with the philosophy that you have to be in it to win it.
‘You never really expect it to happen, though.
‘I’m going to retire straight away, I think. I’ve had a good working life, but this has just made it that much easier to pull back and enjoy the rest of my life in a more relaxed manner.
‘I’ll also pay off my kid’s mortgages. It’s tough out there at the moment, and I can’t wait to be able to help them get ahead and prepare for the future.
‘I’ve got no doubt this win is going to do some amazing things for a lot of people.
‘Thank you so much for this.’
His division one winning entry was purchased at Broadford Newsagency, 67 High Street, Broadford.
