“I’ve already resigned from work!”: Sorell man wastes no time retiring following $900,000 TattsLotto win
An Sorell man is happily trading office chairs for camping chairs after scoring $900,000 in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw.
The Tasmanian resident held one of the seven division one winning entries nationally in TattsLotto draw 4591, drawn Saturday 19 July 2025. Each division one winning entry bagged $913,127.93.
So far in 2025, there have been 12 major lottery wins in Tasmania, that have collectively taken home more than $75.73 million in prize money.
The newly retired winner was still buzzing with excitement when we called him.
“I’m excellent! I’ve already resigned from work!” he cheered.
“We’ve been thinking about retiring, but this just speeds things up completely.
“Next on the cards is a road trip. We’ve been planning it for a while, and now we can even upgrade our caravan too.
“We’re over the moon. We’re going to see a financial planner and get things sorted to set ourselves up and be able to live happily ever after!
“As soon as I saw we’d won, I looked at my wife across the table and just said, ‘I’m not going to work anymore!’. She thought I was joking.
“It’s incredible. It just means we don’t have to worry.
“Thank you so much!”
His winning 50-game QuickPick entry was purchased from Sorell Lotto Hub, Kiosk 1, Sorell Plaza, 12 Cole Street, Sorell.
