Thursday 9 May, 2013 - This Saturday, wouldn’t it be nice if you could make your dreams a reality by winning a share in the massive TattsLotto $21 million Superdraw! 

What would you do if you won a share in first division? 

Tatts spokesperson Belinda McDougall said for most Australians paying off the mortgage or buying a family home is the ultimate TattsLotto dream. 

“When we ask TattsLotto winners what they plan to do with their windfall, buying or paying off a home and becoming debt free are the number one responses,” Ms McDougall said. 

“Other common answers we get from division one winners include retirement, upgrading the car, taking a much-needed holiday and helping out family or friends. 

“It’s rare for a TattsLotto winner to say they’ll do something frivolous or wild with their winnings. We find they’re keen to secure their financial future.” 

As they say you have to be in it to win it, so make sure you pick up an entry in Saturday’s $21 million Superdraw for your chance to make your TattsLotto dream a reality. 

Play with your favourite numbers, buy a QuickPick entry or share the fun by forming a syndicate with family, friends or colleagues. 

Entries in Saturday’s $21 million TattsLotto Superdraw are available from Tatts outlets or online at Tatts.com. 

Tatts encourages players to register their entries to a Tatts Card because it not only secures their prize but means Tatts can contact them the first business day after the draw to tell them they’ve won a division one prize.

Tuesday 7 May, 2013 - Someone who purchased a TattsLotto entry in Wangaratta is going to be surprised when they discover it has won a division one prize worth more than $800,000!

Tatts spokesperson Belinda McDougall said the winning entry is not registered to a Tatts Card so Tatts hasn’t been able to contact the winner with the good news. 

“If you purchased an unregistered entry in Saturday’s TattsLotto draw 3317 from West End Lotto, we suggest you keep the ticket in a safe place and have it checked as soon as possible at a Tatts outlet or online at www.tattersalls.com.au,” Ms McDougall said. 

“TattsLotto players are encouraged to always register their lottery purchases to their Tatts Card. Not only does registration ensure your prizes are secure it also ensures you can be contacted directly with news of a big win.” 

The winning entry in TattsLotto was purchased from West End Lotto, 51a Phillipson Street in Wangaratta.
