Two friends from Point Cook, Victoria, have scored big time after they won a TattsLotto jackpot of $1 million after picking numbers out of a hat.

The pair held one of the six division one winning entries nationally in TattsLotto draw 4115, drawn Saturday, December 26th, with each division one winning entry taking home a whopping $1,061,316.47.

"My little heart's going so fast," one of the winning pair told an official from The Lott confirmed her win.

The friends explained to officials that they had been entering the lottery as a pair for several years after settling on a group of numbers they picked using the unusual measure.

"We've been using the same numbers all this time. He gave me some numbers, then I had some numbers, and we just drew them out of a hat to put on our entry," the woman said.

"I've always said if I ever win division one, a couple of hundred thousand dollars would do me."

She added that she will be using her share of the prize to get new floorboards.

"I want my floorboards done," she said.

"I've got carpet under the dining table and I've always wanted floorboards. I might get a new car, too. I also want to help my family. I'll be able to help them a lot."

She added: "I also want to help my family. I'll be able to help them a lot."

Across Australia, there were six division one winning entries in TattsLotto draw - three from Victoria, two from Western Australia and one from Tasmania.

Sanctuary Lakes Lucky Lotto owners, Aubrey and Belinda Matthee, congratulated the winners, saying that they were ecstatic to see a major win in their area.

"What a way to enter 2021 - especially with the challenging year Victorians have experienced," Aubrey said.

"We will be sharing this exciting news with all our customers! This is our second division one win in nearly three years.

"We'd like to congratulate our winners on this significant win. We wish them a prosperous 2021! It can only get better!"
