A Leopold couple is planning to buy their dream beach house following a $2.5 million TattsLotto win.
The couple held one of the eight division one winning entries in the national TattsLotto draw 4499 on Saturday, August 31.
The winning wife said the couple were “so grateful for this win” and lived a “very lucky life” but still felt “a bit weird” about the win.
“We haven’t had time to celebrate because we’ve been so busy, but don’t get me wrong, it’s on the cards,” she said.
“I only thought we had four of the winning numbers on our ticket, but when I scanned it, it came up with all six, and I couldn’t believe it.
“I’ve been rather emotional over the win actually. We’ve always talked about owning a beach house. It’s been a dream of ours, and now we’ll be able to achieve this dream.”
The winning entry was purchased at Leopold News & Lotto, with owner Peter Russell said it was the newsagency’s first division one win since he and his team took over ownership more than 12 years ago.
“We will be letting all of our customers know about the division one win and we know they’ll be over the moon to hear their local outlet had sold a winning ticket worth $2.5 million,” he said.
“It’s super exciting! We’re a community outlet, and most of the customers who visit us are locals. It means that someone out there in our community is celebrating a wonderful win.
“On behalf of the entire Leopold News & Lotto team, we would like to wish our newly-minted multi-millionaires all the best with their prize and thank them for supporting their local newsagency.”
