It was a lucky week in Maribyrnong, with two locals winning a total of $10 million in the same TattsLotto draw on Saturday, May 11.
One Braybrook mum and a young Maribyrnong man both won $5 million each from the total prize pool.
Admitting it would be hard to top Mother’s Day next year, the Braybrook woman said she and her husband would retire and enjoy life to the fullest.
“I haven’t slept all night. It’s just life changing. I can’t believe it. It’s so surreal,” she told TattsLotto officials.
“It just sets us up for the future to live comfortably, go on holidays, give the kids a bit of money, pay off the bills and pay off the mortgage.”
The other lucky winner was a young Maribyrnong man in his 20s, who is also marvelling at the series of random events that led him to hold a winning ticket.
The winning entry was not registered to a player card, which meant officials from The Lott had no way of contacting the ticket holder.
“I’m still in shock. I can’t believe it. I’ve had no sleep at all,” he said.
“I’d totally forgotten about this ticket. I had bought it last week and I was at work yesterday and I realised I hadn’t checked it.“
The pair held two of the four division one winning entries in the draw, with each division one winning entry scoring $5 million.
