A couple earns $ 1.3 million at the TattsLotto jackpot

This morning, his wife told a Tatts official: "He phoned me crying and I said," What happened? "

"He said, 'Are you sitting?' Can you sit down, please? And he was crying.

The couple's entry was one of three winning national entries in the 3897 draw of the TattsLotto, drawn on Saturday.

In addition to winning the coveted Division 1 award, their winning ticket also won division three 18 times and division four 45 times, bringing the total to $ 1,383,579.76.

"We had the big one," said the excited winner. "It's a shock, let me tell you," she confided, confessing that she collapsed and cried after her husband told her how much they had won.

"The children had thought that someone had died after the reaction we both had. It was an incredible news. "

The delighted couple of Moonee Ponds, who bought the winning ticket at Puckle St Nextra, said the money was coming at an ideal time.

"We are selling our house and my husband has said," We do not need to sell the house anymore, "the woman said.

"We can not believe the timing. Our house has been on the market for a while, but we have not had much luck and we do not have to worry about selling it anymore. "

The couple, who wish to remain anonymous, also plans a holiday, hoping to take their children to Japan this year and make a great trip to Europe the following year.

"We will both have a new car because our cars are quite old. We will not be too crazy, we will not be flippant with that. It will really help us. We will make sure that we have something left for our retirement.

"It's such a nice feeling to know that we have no more debt to the house and that we will not have to go into debt again."
