A Dandenong man was a ‘happy camper’ after reaping $1.2 million from a Tattslotto division 1 win.

He discovered his winning entry after returning from a camping trip the morning after the 19 March draw.

“I didn’t know if it was true and my wife also didn’t want to believe it,” he said.

“It was a last-minute decision to purchase an entry the night before we left to go camping and I’m so glad I did.”

The man said it was “great to finally score big” after playing TattsLotto for about five years.

He and his wife plan to buy a home and travel the world, visiting Japan, Canada and Malaysia.

His winning 24-game QuickPick entry was purchased online.

There were 16 division one winning entries across Australia, including a syndicate of 20 members established in Frankston.
