Vic: Overnight millionaire now putting in for $21 million

MELBOURNE, Dec 20 AAP - A man who has just won more than a million and a quarter dollars
in Tatts now wants to win $21 million in the Tattslotto New Year's Eve draw.

The man, from Dromana, south-east of Melbourne, was told today he had won more than
$1,260,000 in last Saturday's Tattslotto draw.

The businessman in his 50s, who shared the division one prize pool with an entry from
Western Australia, said he was not sure what he would do with his winnings.

"It is such a shock that at the moment I cannot think of what else I will do with the
rest of it, " he said.

"It is such a shock that at the moment I cannot think of what else I will do with the
rest of it, " he said.

He said he had a grown-up family, "so I am sure they will find plenty of things that need doing."

He said he had planned to spend a thousand or more on the New Year's Eve draw, "but
I will probably double it now that I know I will get all this money".

And he added: "Now I'll have a serious go at winning the $21 million in the Tattslotto
New Year's Eve Millennium draw.

"With any luck I'll be speaking to you on New Year's Day, if anyone can find me," he said.
