Saturday lotto is proudly played across Australia under the brands Gold Lotto, Lotto, TattsLotto and X Lotto, bringing winning moments to players nationwide.
A Nyah truck driver was forced to hit the brakes mid-shift after discovering he’d scored a sensational $649,000 win in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw.
The northern Victorian resident held one of the 10 division one winning entries nationally in TattsLotto draw 4705, drawn Saturday 22 August 2026.
The winning man shared that he and his partner checked their ticket yesterday morning but spent the rest of the day wondering if their life-changing news was real.
“Thank you! I have been waiting for your phone call!” he laughed.
“I am at work, driving a truck but I have just pulled over. I can’t miss this phone call!
“I checked the ticket yesterday morning alongside my partner and we were umming and ahhing all day wondering if it was true.
“I said to my partner, ‘I figured they’d just email you if you won’, and she said, ‘Nah, they’ll probably call you tomorrow!’. And here we are!
“We were sitting down to dinner on Saturday night, and something just told me to grab a ticket. I thought, ‘Better get one, just in case!’.
“We’re going to be debt free moving forward, which is amazing.
“We can pay off the mortgage and car loans, and we’ll probably have a couple of hundred left over.
“We would love to travel to New Zealand and make some great memories with our kids.
“Thank you! We’ll have to celebrate as a family!”
His winning 18-game QuickPick was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
