$1.25 million win or Moonee Ponds man in Tattslotto draw

A Moonee Ponds man was delighted to discover the phone call he initially thought was a practical joke was instead lottery officials confirming an exhilarating $1.25 million TattsLotto win.

An official from The Lott reached out to the winning man who was starting his Monday morning shift, and completely oblivious to the division one lottery loot.

“Are you serious?!” he yelled joyfully. “Oh god!

This is unreal!

“I’ve been holding my breath wondering if this was a joke or some sort of scam.

“I’ve had to go to a private room as I’m at work – I didn’t want someone wasting my time!

“I’ll look to retire immediately and share the prize around with my family and friends.

“I’ll celebrate as soon as the win sinks in!”

His winning System 8 QuickPick was purchased at Puckle Street Newsagency, 45 Puckle Street, Moonee Ponds.
