Saturday lotto is proudly played across Australia under the brands Gold Lotto, Lotto, TattsLotto and X Lotto, bringing winning moments to players nationwide.
A King Island grandfather was ready to write off his Monday as just another case of the blues until a call from The Lott revealed his sensational $649,000 win in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw.
The Tasmanian held one of the 10 division one winning entries nationally in TattsLotto draw 4705, drawn Saturday 22 August 2026. Each division one winning entry scored $649,601.50.
“You’re joking! I’ve won $649,000?” he laughed when an official from The Lott called to reveal his windfall.
“I was having a mundane Monday morning, and this has just made my day!
“I had no idea about the win. I kept thinking, ‘Who is calling me?’.
“I’ve been playing it on and off since TattsLotto first started!
“Thank you very much. It will be a nice thing to look forward to.”
Now $649,000 richer, the Apple Isle local revealed he’s planning to share the windfall with his loved ones.
“I’ll be giving some of the prize to my kids,” he exclaimed.
“I’ll give them a call today and share the good news. They’re spread out all across Australia.”
His winning 12-game QuickPick was purchased via The Lott app – the official home of Australia’s lotteries.
