An Emerald woman spent her Saturday night dancing around her living room after discovering she scored a division one prize of $1 million in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw.
The lucky lady held one of the eight division one winning entries nationally in TattsLotto draw 3967, drawn Saturday 27 July.
The thrilled winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, said she planned to use the windfall to pay off her mortgage and go on holiday around Australia.
The winning 18-game marked entry ticket was purchased at Emerald Newsagency.
Emerald Newsagency co-owner Carl Mardirian said he was thrilled to discover his outlet had sold a division one winning entry.
“I couldn’t believe it when I got the message on Sunday morning that we’d sold a division one winning entry,” he exclaimed.
“We’ve put posters all around the shop to let our customers know we’ve sold a winner.
“This is the fourth division one winning entry we’ve sold in 13 years and we reckon we are the lucky shop here in Emerald.”
Mr Mardirian said he considers this a reward for all the hard work they put in.
“We wish the winner all the best for the future,” he added.
