But when one local couple woke to find they had won TattsLotto over the weekend, the following excitement ensured not a wink was slept.
The winning woman said it was 5am when she checked the ticket in draw 4417 on Saturday, November 18, and discovered the division one win of $657,257.52.
“There was a lot of tossing and turning, I’m currently running on adrenaline and no sleep,” she said.
“It’s a lot of money to process. I’m just so glad to hear it’s real, I was waiting for someone to tell me it was a prank.
“My husband has always said we’ll win TattsLotto one day.”
The couple purchased their winning entry from newsXpress Tatura, their trusted local newsagency for more than 20 years.
newsXpress Tatura owner John Lovel said he was thrilled to hear one of his local customers had won.
“We’re over the moon to have sold another division one-winning entry, and we know this win will be absolutely life-changing for the winner and their family,” he said.
“No matter how many division one-winning entries we sell, the winning feeling never loses its excitement.
“Every win has its own story, and we always love hearing about it.
“We’ve helped change the lives of many customers in 20 years... and we will be celebrating with all our customers and sharing the winning news with the community.
“It’s a momentous occasion, and we couldn’t be happier for our winner – congratulations!”
