Sunbury woman wins big

A Sunbury woman was shocked to find out her TattsLotto ticket resulted in a $4.2 million win.

The woman held one of the seven division one winning entries nationally in TattsLotto draw 4593, drawn Saturday, July 26. She pocketed a total prize of $4,285,724.39.

The mum was working from home when she received a winning phone call from lottery officials revealing her multi-million-dollar windfall.

“Oh my god! Are you kidding?” she said.

“Oh my god! I’m going to cry.”

She said it was a dream come true.

“You’ve made my life. I don’t think I’ll be able to stop smiling for an entire week,” the Sunbury woman said.

“I’ve got a lot of work to do today but I don’t think I’ll be able to concentrate.”

The winning numbers in TattsLotto draw 4593 on July 26 were 17, 23, 40, 42, 44 and 2, while the supplementary numbers were 27 and 39.

Across Australia, there were seven division one winning entries in TattsLotto draw 4593 – three in New South Wales, two in Victoria, and one each in Queensland and Western Australia.
