Congratulation to the local couple who recently became millionaires when they purchased their tattslotto ticket from our very own Newsagency in centre.

Alex and the team were very excited to hear the news that one of their customers was a division one winner!

The Mercury Newspaper Article:

A couple from New Town have become overnight millionaires after claiming one of six division one winning entries in Saturday’s TattsLotto draw.

The self-proclaimed ‘battlers’ say they are ‘over the moon’ and are planning to use the windfall to renovate their home, pay off their mortgage and save money for their retirement.

   “I was about to start work on Sunday, and I was just sitting in the car when I decided to quickly check our lottery tickets,” said the winning woman.

“I called my husband straight away to tell him. He was still in bed, so I had to wake him up. I said, ‘sit down, I’ve got something to tell you’.”

The pair won a total of $1,012,790.28.

“We never thought something like this would happen to us.”

“We’ve battled all of our lives. We’re hard workers, so this will take the pressure off and allow us to just enjoy our lives.”
