A woman from Victoria, Australia, found herself unable to sleep all weekend after discovering she had won a life-changing division one prize in a recent TattsLotto draw.
The winner passed through Bendigo and wanted to try her luck
At Lansell Square Lotto in Kiosk K6, located at 267 High Street, Kangaroo Flat, a fortunate player picked up her ticket. As luck would have it, she was merely passing through Bendigo when she decided to try her hand at TattsLotto. She joined the game's draw 4693 on Saturday, July 11, 2026. This particular draw resulted in four division one winners across Australia, and the Victorian woman held one of those lucky tickets. Each winner received a life-changing prize of AU$1.5 million (approximately $1.04 million). Lili Unstead, who owns Lansell Square Lotto, expressed her excitement to an official from The Lott upon learning that another division one winning ticket had been sold at her outlet. Proudly, Unstead noted that the venue has sold 15 division one winning entries so far. She warmly congratulated the winner, adding, I'm so happy for you! I hope this brings ease and happiness to you and your family.
The player had a "feeling for a couple days" ahead of the windfall
After buying her TattsLotto ticket, the woman initially forgot about it. Then, as she rummaged through her purse, she suddenly remembered the ticket and decided it was time to see if she had struck luck. I checked it on Saturday and couldn't sleep until 5 a.m., she revealed during an interview with The Lott. Sitting there with a hunch that good news was coming her way, she felt compelled to check. Usually, she plays online and relies on an email or a notification from The Lott’s app. But this time, she recalled purchasing a physical ticket while passing through Bendigo. The lucky Victorian said she has been playing for years. As the reality of winning a life-changing fortune set in, she clapped her hands, exclaiming, Thank you, money gods! When asked about her plans for the AU$1.5 million ($1.04 million) prize, she admitted she was still in shock and hadn't decided how to spend it. It’s a lot of money. I'm a millionaire now! I've never had this kind of money, so I want to be wise and not rush into anything, she explained.
