Million-dollar lotto win for Geelong man

A Geelong man’s morning shower has been interrupted by a life-changing phone call, revealing his million-dollar TattsLotto win.

The man held one of the five division one winning entries in Saturday night’s draw and scored himself a $1,158,125.80 prize.

Confirming his win with an official from The Lott this morning, the man said he had initially declined the winning call by mistake while coming out of the shower.

“I tried to answer the phone, but I didn’t have my glasses on. I couldn’t see what I was doing, so I accidently hung up,” he said.

“I’ll keep the winning news on the down-low, but I’ll definitely tell my wife this morning. She won’t believe it.”

The man said he was too stunned to make any concrete plans at this stage.

“I’m not sure what I’ll spend the money on, but I’m sure it will be something worthwhile,” he said.

“I’m a bit too overwhelmed to think of anything at this stage.”

His 50-game Quickpick was purchased in Bacchus Marsh.

The winning numbers in Saturday’s draw were 22, 9, 10, 11, 2, 37, while the supplementary numbers were 6 and 40.

Across Australia, there were five division one winning entries – four from Victoria and one in New South Wales.
