ONE lucky Swan Hill resident is $200,000 richer after scooping first division in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw.
The winner, who wished to remain anonymous, bought the ticket from Swan Hill Lotto and Cards.
He was one of 21 winners who shared in a prize pool of more than $4 million dollars.
The man was washing the dishes when he happened to see his numbers flash across the TV screen.
“I’m still trying to work out how to bottle up my reaction to this news,” he said.
“I saw the numbers and thought a couple of those are mine.
“I checked my ticket and I was in a bit of shock — I’m still shaking and crying.
“I had to ring my sister because I thought I might be having a heart attack.”
The man has planned to use the winnings to pay off his mortgage, have a huge birthday party and take a trip to Queensland.
It was the second division one win the store had sold this year and its 16th in total.
