The winner journeyed through Bendigo, eager to test her luck.

A lucky player bought her ticket at Lansell Square Lotto, Kiosk K6, at 267 High Street, Kangaroo Flat. Interestingly, she was just passing through Bendigo when she decided to try her luck with TattsLotto. She joined the game's draw 4693 on Saturday, July 11, 2026. This particular draw resulted in four division one winning entries across Australia, and the Victorian woman held one of the winning tickets. Each winner was awarded a life-changing prize of AU$1.5 million (US$1.04 million). Lili Unstead, the owner of Lansell Square Lotto where the winning ticket was bought, talked with an official from The Lott, expressing her excitement about having another division one winner from her store. She mentioned that Lansell Square Lotto has, so far, sold 15 division one winning entries. Congratulations to the winner. I’m so happy for you! I hope this brings ease and happiness to you and your family, Unstead said.

The player had a hunch for a few days before the windfall.

After buying the TattsLotto ticket, the woman initially forgot about it. She remembered the ticket was in her purse because she wanted to see if it was a winner. I checked it Saturday, and I couldn’t get to sleep until 5 a.m., the lucky player shared in an interview with The Lott. I was just sitting there, and I thought I better check because I had a feeling for a couple of days that I was going to get some good news, she added. She usually plays online and waits for an email or a notification via The Lott's app, but this time she recalled buying a physical ticket while passing through Bendigo. The Victorian winner, who has been playing for ages, clapped her hands as the idea of winning a life-changing fortune sank in and exclaimed, Thank you, money gods! When asked about her plans for the AU$1.5 million ($1.04 million) she had won, the player confessed she's still in shock and hasn't made any decisions yet. It’s a lot of money. Like I said, I’m a millionaire now! I’ve never had this sort of money, so I want to be wise and not rush into anything, she concluded.
