Man’s ‘impossible’ dream now a reality after $2.5m Lotto win
A young man’s dream of buying his own home is now reality after winning $2.5 million in this weekend’s TattsLotto.
The lucky winner, from Maldon in regional Victoria, held one of four division one entries in the TattsLotto draw 4189 on Saturday, September 11 – taking home $2.5 million each.
The Maldon man told officials from The Lott this morning that he discovered his multi-millionaire status on Saturday night and was still reeling from the life-changing news.
“I was just watching some TV with my family when I checked my ticket on The Lott app and that’s when I realised I’d won division one,” the excited winner told The Lott.
“I instantly started shaking! I felt so nervous. I just couldn’t believe it!”
The young man screamed for his parents to check the ticket and they soon confirmed he had won.
“We celebrated that night with a few drinks. It was really good,” he said.
When asked how he planned to spend his lottery winnings, the young multi-millionaire said he would buy himself a home of his own.
“I think the first thing I will do is buy myself a home,” said the ecstatic winner, who explained the idea of buying his own home had seemed impossible until now.
“Honestly, I am not too sure what I will do with the rest. I’ve never had this kind of money, so it’s new territory for me!”
The winning numbers in TattsLotto draw 4189 were 17, 34, 8, 10, 26 and 23, while the supplementary numbers were 36 and 41.

“We are both going to retire from work. We’ve been dreaming about this moment,” the winning man told The Lott.
“Then we are going to move and buy a place right on the beach. We want to be beach bums! We’ve already been house shopping online this morning and have picked out a few we’d like to look at,” said the overjoyed woman.
“We’ve won at the best time because this means we can really enjoy life and have a fantastic retirement,” she added.
