The man discovered he’d won $1,556,751.24 late Saturday night, October 25, after watching a movie with his family.
“I had two tickets in the draw — the first one had won $100 and then I saw the win on this ticket,” he said.
“I couldn't believe it. I thought to myself, ‘What’s going on here?!’
“I walked out of the bedroom to my wife, and she thought I'd been shot or something.
“I had to check the ticket on every electronic in the house to make sure it wasn't glitching.”
The man plans to use his winnings to help his three children and finally retire.
“We will definitely spread the love,” he said.
The Shepparton man purchased his System eight entry on The Lott website, and claimed one of four division one prizes.
The other winners were from Tasmania, NSW and Queensland.
The winning numbers in TattsLotto draw 4619 were 14, 13, 41, 29, 23 and 40, with supplementary numbers 17 and 1.
