South Melbourne man initially mistakes $1.6 million TattsLotto win for $16

A South Melbourne man has confessed his brain initially couldn’t comprehend the enormity of this $1.6 million TattsLotto win on the weekend.
 
“This is just awesome!” the man exclaimed when speaking to us.
 
“I usually check my weekly TattsLotto ticket around 10pm on a Saturday night. But this time, I was thinking to myself, ‘Well, I haven’t had a call yet, so I guess I didn’t win division one’.
 
“So I opened up my ticket and looked at it. Holy sh**!

“At first I thought I’d won $16, but then I noticed a few more digits and commas.

“I couldn’t sleep after that. I just kept wondering if it was real.
 
“I picked these numbers a long time ago and I’ve just kept playing them. The number 13 is my lucky number and then I picked mostly birthdays of the family.
 
“I called my mum and sister on Saturday night. They thought I was playing a prank on them, but I wouldn’t joke about something like this.
 
“I’ve always had a thing where I thought if I ever won TattsLotto, I’d buy my sister and mum a new car.
 
“The rest I’ll use to pay off a few debts and set myself up.”
 
The man’s winning marked 20-game entry via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
